🎹 JDXI-Editor v0.9.2 — Major Feature Update + Expanded MIDI Support

We’re pleased to announce the release of JDXI-Editor v0.9.2. This version represents a significant milestone: the editor now supports most of the Roland JD-Xi MIDI implementation, with reliable editing, playback, and MIDI file handling — including the well-known “cheat code” that enables the Analog voice (MIDI Channel 3) to function as a more flexible Digital Synth Part 3.
