This is the First New Rack Extension of May and nobody Mentioned in this thread.

 
Lol, indeed, I thought it was the haas mixer, which had the same positioning in the shop after the update. I only look at images changing.

Same thing happened for many folks when Numerical Sound released a new reverb...

I can't wait to get my hands on this. But I don't think Props releases devices on weekends ! They shoul IMO

I am really interested to see how this RE turns out.  I had asked Bitley if he had ever sampled it for synth patches.  I still have a JX-3P chasis, the keyoard and electronics fell victim when our storage unit flooded several years ago.  This synth always created some of the oddest basic sterile-type sounds when I tinkered with it.  Maybe sterile isn't the best descriptive.   Not the most versatile synth but very unique and fun in its own way.

Looking forward to the release.

Thanks for the interest xxASMxx.  I can assure this will have the original 32 presets form the unit.  Beyond that I've tried to gather as many unique tone types as possible (planned 128 in total).  These will be easy to access like the original unit by choosing from any of 8 banks of 16 presets.  The user can freely adjust the AMP envelope to their needs turning say an organ with a fast attack into a more pad-like patch.  Some filter and LFO modulation from original patches will be sampled with the sample sets but there is an extra level of LFO and filter types to further add to the sound.  I've also included a shaper that should be able to alter the tone of the original sample set.  And.. of course there is the effect chain of your more common types.  The original unit had a Chorus of a single setting.  It is very warm and is challengning to reproduce using IDT but I think I've accommodated nicely.  The original Chorus is kinda noisy (IMO) but indeed very warm.  The sample sets are recorded without the Chorus to keep them a little more useable.  I still think the character of the JX-3P is well represented here for those familiar with the original.  It should provide a unique level of control to sampled material in an expected affordable refill price range.  I'll certainly keep those interested up to date.

Is this even in beta yet. Take so long for the instruments to drop as opposed to effects.
