This README.TXT is copied inside the plugin folder. Please read it before to use the plugin.

Two monophonic versions are available on http://kx77free.free.fr M for the VSTi without the audio inputs: kx-synth-x16-M.zip. FX for the VSTe with the audio inputs: kx-synth-x16-FX.zip. Infos to Fruity Loop users: The plug-in uses a little less CPU (-5%) and the export wav works fine with this wrapper option: compatibility > Use fixed size buffer. The Midi Learn doesn't work with FL, FL locks the CC for its automation. -Installation -New features -Features -Infos -FAQ -Midi controllers -license ************************************************************ Installation: 1- Unzip the KX-SYNTH-X16-V25.zip. 2- Copy the KX-SYNTH-X16-V25.DLL file and the " KX-SYNTH-X16-V25 " folder into your Vstplugins folder. ************************************************************ New features: - Full Midi Learn. - Frequency displays on the main panel. - Note transposition for each oscillator. - Bar synchro to any step of the sequencer (1 to 16). - Bend selector for the synthesizer. - Midi out on/off. - 21 new pesets. Improvements: - All automation names rewritten. - The sequencer files are in the plug-in folder. - Initialization time of 2 sec. - Less cpu use, no mute and initialization during the Prg Ch. - Mini knobs to control directly the joystick with Midi controllers. - New internal stucture with less modules and connections. - The input level of the Fx is controlled by the Run AR to smooth the signal when the FX are used directly . - The destinations Vca, Ring a, Ring B and Fx go to the sleep mode if any pins are not connected in theirs colunms. - Midi out: the Prg Ch is filtered and better management of the CC123. Bugs fix: - The transposition of the sequencer CV to the matrix was wrong. - The Mod signal of the voice n6 was rectified and alway positive. - If the loop ( Lp ) of the adsr was enabled during the sustain, the adsr could not be retriggered. - To avoid incompatibilities with some hots during the samplerate update, the external inputs are unavailable with the VSTi version. This feature is implemented in a monophonic VSTe (effect):

KX-SYNTH-X16-FX. ************************************************************ Features: 2.3 VSTi plug-in. Common features with the VCS3: Three variable shape oscillators, tweaked to simulate the color and bandwidth of Vcs3's oscillators. 16*16 pin matrix with feedback connections. LP filter, 18 db per octave with self oscillating. Noise generator with EQ. Ring modulation. Two external inputs. (Only available with the FX version). XY joystick. Added features: Polyphony up to 6 voices. Total control of the polyphony features with the extended KXMOD system. Each voice can be controlled with RELATIVE parameters (KXMOD). Analog sequencer (CV & gate) with a memory of 256 CV and 256 gates, files saved on disk, 2 accent lines, random clock, keyboard input to transpose or to reccord the CV... Mini knobs to adjust each matrix modulation, 0 to 1. Modern skin with notepad and variable color background. Html help file. You can adjust the response curve of the oscillators. The original ASR (trapezoid) is extended to 2 ADSR with Attack Reset mode, Host and internal sequencer synchronization. Delay fx with host synchronization and LFO modulation. It replaces the original spring reverb. LFO, Sample & Hold and third ADSR envelope added, monophonic modulations, they can replace the external inputs (In1, In2). Keyboard scalers.

X Y matrix Midi controllers. Full Midi Learn. Velocity to envelope segments, cut off and volume. Midi in splitter. Omni Midi output to control external monophonic instruments and build polyphonic ensemble, each instrument is one voice... Sequencer Midi ouput. 128 KX's presets: 35 polyphonic instruments 20 unison presets 36 monophonic presets (v 1.04) 23 sequencer demos 14 tutorial and initialization presets 23 Kx77free SEM modules specialy written in C++ for this plugin: matrix, filter, adsr, delay, sequencer, kxmod, etc... ************************************************************ Infos: If you connect a source to the input controls: Vol1, Vol2 the output volume can vary up to 0 db! Before to connect any sources, you should adjust the modulation level with the matrix mini knobs. ************************************************************ FAQ: 1 - What is the difference between "Run" and "Play run"? The plug-in is alway running with "Run". With "Play run" it's running only when your sequencer host is playing (play), it's useful if you use continuous sounds or the sequencer. Do not forget that if you use a continuous sound built with looped EGs, etc, the sound must be triggered by the trigger button (ctrl 64, hold pedal) or with a M idi note on. 2 - What are exactly the "Run Att" and the "Run Rel" parameters? They are the fade-in and the fade-out of the voices! You can use them like a global AR envelope or to control the fade-out of continu ous sounds. The "Run Att" is useful to avoid audio clicks when you trig continuous sounds fo llowing the connections of the matrix. The "Run Gate" selector permits to select the source which controls these parame ters. 3 - Why my host cannot load the SEM modules when the plugin is loading? You forgot to copy the "KX-SYNTH-X16-V25" folder when you installed manually the plugin with the zip. Normally the SE engine unzip the embedded sem modules but to avoid this bug with

Live 8 and vista32, it's strongly recommended to follow installation instructio ns. 4 - Why the Help button doesn't work? You forgot to copy the "KX-SYNTH-X16-V25" folder when you installed manually the plugin with the zip. 5 - Why the sequencer track is empty (demo files)? You forgot to copy the "KX-SYNTH-X16-V25" folder when you installed manually the plugin with the zip. 6 - Why the sound is muted after the loading in the host program? This plug-in can produce continuous sounds, following the matrix connections, th at's why a delayed initialization is implemented to avoid any CPU spike when thi s plug-in is loaded with a continuous sound. The initialization time is set to 2 seconds. 7 - Why the voice panels have blank areas? They are not very nice but I prefer to keep this blank areas if I decide to add some parameters. I think that is more easy to work with them if the voice parame ters are at the same area of the main parameters. 8 - How can I reduce the CPU use? It's not really a problem, you can reduce the number of voices. Many of monophonic presets are provided with the original bank. Do not forget that the VCS3 was a monophonic synthesizer, the polyphony is a bon us! Do not make connections in the matrix if you do not use them and set to 0.000 th e unused parameters (orange knobs) . The frequency modulation uses more cpu because the Vcos are tweaked and all Vco modules are used when you change the pitch in continuous. 9 -Midi Learn Setting: The Midi Learn setting is saved in the bank and in the preset. 10 - Beta-testing results: This is a stable release, it was tested on 32 and 64 Windows with the main VST h osts: Cubase ( SX, SE, 5) , Samplitude, Orion, Cantabile, Energy XT, Reaper, FL, Live , VstHost., Chainer, Sonar... 11 - Minimum requirements: Any old mono sse processors, P4, Athlon XP for mono presets or FX and M version. A real frequency of 1.5 ghz for poly presets (2 plug-ins, 2*5 voices, 80% vst p erformance). eg: If you use a P4 3ghz with an old Cubase SE, in fact you use only one processor o f 1.5 ghz! A chord of 6 voices with an old P4 3 ghz with hyperthreading (2*1.5ghz) uses 50% of vst performance following the complexity of the preset and the ASIO buffers.

Old host reference: Vst Host or Cubase SE old 1.07 version, hosts not optimised for dual processors, 100% of vst performance=50% CPU really used... 12 - Recommended configurations: All Dual Core or Quad Core configurations with host programs optimized for these processors. With Reaper v2.53 and Vista 32, the first preset uses 5% ( 6 voices) with a Quad Core 6600, the same preset uses 19.5% with VST Host (host not optimised for Qu ad Core). 13 - Know problems: FL Studio: The SE 1.1 plug-ins uses a little less CPU (-5%) and the export wav works fine w ith this wrapper option: compatibility > Use fixed size buffer. The SE 1.1 Midi Learn doesn't work with FL, FL locks the CC for its automation. You should use the FL Midi Learn... Orion: To change the values of the knob fields, use the "Caps lock" key. Samplitude 15: Minor SE 1.1 graphic bugs with the knobs fields, they appear blank if you choice a preset in the preset list. You need to click on to see the value. Asio4All and some old hosts: Following your chipset and your host, after a samplerate update, the host can not reconnect itself the Asio4All driver. You must reselect the Asio4All driver manually. This is an Asio4all bug with some old host like Cubase SE (1.07, 2004). You must select " Release Asio Driver in Background" in the asio options of Cuba se SE. And avoid to work less than 44.1k with Asio4all. 14 - Why did you disable the audio inputs?: It's not easy for me to do a regression but after a long period of tests, I notified that the audio inputs on VSTi are not really supported by all hosts, specialy by the old Cubase with some Asio drivers. This feature is only 100% safe when you change the samplerate with a good nativ e Asio drivers which have same stable clock for the inputs and outputs without any SRC. You should use the monphonic FX version ( VSTe ) to use this feature in all host s. 15 - Why the KX-SYNTH-X16's banks are not compatible between themselves?: To avoid possible conflicts with some hosts the ID of each version (old v2, pol y, mono, fx) is different. ************************************************************ Midi controllers: All controllers can be edited with the Mid Learn (right click). The CC120 and the CC123 are disabled.

CC 120 = All sounds off CC 123 = All notes off The default set is the same of the version 2.0.
