Sustain pedal spontaneously turns off at random moments without midi off message
Hi, I use FM8 to play DX e-pianos in GigPerformer & Reaper. I noticed that sometimes, the sustain pedal happened to turn off. At first, I thought that it could be a hardware problem. Later, I noticed that when I played a layered patch, the other instruments still have sustain on, while FM8 doesn't. Then I turned on the…

FM8 won't be recognized as VST

I can get it recognized in Cakewalk but when I try to use Bespoke Synth (actually synth and DAW) then while it can recognize almost all the other VST3 I have (things like Dexed) even if I tell it the directory where FM8.dll is…

Greetings all. I'm writing this blog post to lament over the quiet death of one of my favorite synths Absynth 5. Many of you may either love or loath the softsynth, but I really adored it.

FM8 jumps always at operator C window
Hallo, I'm new here, and a FM8 newbie with an elementary problem... When I change something in any window in FM8 (say, level for operator A) then the window of operator A changes 'automagically' to the window of operator C. The same with all other windows, and this is a problem to effectively use that synth. All windows…
