Hope things are better for you now.

Yes. All are better, except that I lost my musical instruments for the second time. But they are just machines, everything will be done again from the beginning.

Started on Biotek 3 VST3 but it's useless - none of the controls in the plugin seem to report their positions to the host so as soon as you change preset you get huge parameter jumps - and saving presets as NKS would be difficult due to this.

Actually looks like Biotek 2 has the same issue and someone managed to save them as NKS so evidently it doesn't stop that but it still makes for param jumps if you switch presets in the plugin.

Also it is very inconsistent in how it names macros and the names don't update in KK so it doesn't seem to publish much information to hosts. However I have made a preliminary template but it would be much better if it changed the param name per preset.

Is it too early to make a template for the JV880 emulator? If someone does this, I can probably make all those presets. I just checked and I only see bypass and program parameters automapped and it looked like the program mapping is one program increment off of the preset name indicated in KK. In addition, it doesn't seem that it is recalling the presets correctly from an NKS save.

I did a test run with the JV-880 Factory Bank. Will you check it? The plugin only seems to load an NKS preset on first launch. This sounds like a familiar problem. If any of you know what is technically going wrong, please indicate here and I will post info at Giulio Zausa's github.
