Description

PG-8X 2.0 is a virtual-analogue synthesizer built around a two-DCO oscillator section and a 24 dB-per-octave filter design. Its oscillators provide saw, square, pulse, and noise waves, with hard sync, ring modulation, two exponential envelopes, a resonant low-pass filter, a three-stage high-pass filter, and stereo chorus.

The synth supports up to 12-voice polyphony, six key-assignment modes, MIDI learn, automatic oversampling adjustment, and import or export of JX-8P SysEx data. It is designed for JX-8P-style patch programming with flexible polyphonic and unison options.
