You already know this since years and there are already few emulations of it in the user library, but since this is one of my top favorite synths i wanted to make a big, unique and „glorious“ version of it, with full quality graphics and some one-of-a-kind presets! This is NOT an exact emulation of the synth, but rather something beyond, which however is based on the JP-8000 principle
VERSION 2.2 UPDATE:
* NKS Version: Ensemble is now fully NKS compatible, for use in Maschine and Komplete Kontrol, with an updated custom template and a fully reworked mapping, which has been applied on each preset. It is now appears as an individual instrument under Native Instruments, with its own graphics and resources (NKS previews by Kymeia).
**********************************************************
VERSION 2.1 UPDATE:
* Fixed a bug in Trancegate, causing the instrument to „randomize“ settings when clicking Trancegate on and off.
* Fixed Ribbon Controller’s IC sends (X connected to Filter Cutoff and Y to Filter Resonance).
* All presets are now separated to 8 different banks, according to their types. Few more presets added.
* Midi assignments removed, so you can assign your own.
* Includes template to control the synth with Maschine or Komplete Kontrol
* Minor improvements
**********************************************************
