X8 by TheNatan

[ftr]

Anyone else having probs with this plugin ?

Populates 16 Channels but only plays 2 channels through the first output and left mono output on the second ?

lite or full version?

there was a setting you could edit in Orion for multi channel stuff, but its been years since i looked at it...

Hi krim,
the lite version.

[Kriminal]

could it be a limitation then? (i dont have time to check myself)

X8 (Purchased) is on special right now.

I thought I would take a punt,
but same problem.

Any tips on multichannel appreciated.

Maybe try adjusting the "Channels Visible in Mixer". Might not have an affect but worth a try:

Some VST's have multi outputs but their presets only address the first one or two outputs. Make sure X8 is actually sending a signal to all outputs.

I don't own that plugin and have no desire to install it so can't check here.

What Tek posted is the best solution you can hope for in this instance. This is on developers.

Personally, I see zero reasons why this plugin should be multi-channel instrument.

Thanks for the reply folks,
seems like channel one is mono and channel2 is just left still.

I adjusted the generator visible channel setting as per the screen shot, but I need to mute channel 2 before doing so.

I may post a ticket to the thenatan, and will post any outcome here.

I installed the Free version of X8 and it's just a poorly coded Maize Sampler "save as" plugin. Hence the .mse file for the sample content.

There is no way it needs 20+ Mixer strips/outputs for an instrument that's not multi-timbral. He probably exported the instrument in some default multi out configuration.

I've seen this guy Thenatan's stuff before. He seems kind of wonky to me. Better to stick with more competent developers.

EDIT: Ok all you have to do is set the number of mixer strips in Orion to 1, rename the mixer strip from Output 1R to X-8 or whatever then save that as a Template. Then every time you load that template it will have the correct output.

He probably tested it in FL Studio which defaults to a single output and then you can add extra outputs if desired rather than Orion's method of loading them all then allowing you to reduce the unwanted outputs. Reaper asks when you load the plugin whether you want to load the multi outs or a single stereo out.

He might be using a demo version of the Maize Sampler and it defaults to multi-outs or he just doesn't know how to save plugins from within Maize.
