Sounds fantastic, but what a CPU hog!. With a dual 2.5 G mac, some patches result in one whole processor being used in Logic 7 for one or two notes.

Anyone else finding the same?

We have reports of some install problems on some configs (like MAX/msp as host, or RTAS), it'll be cured soon since the guys at ohmforce are busy like ants on it (we are proud to have them as members

Not installed here (yet) so I can't tell you, but you're the first to talk about this issue…

Yes a giant CPU Hog But I really like the concept of quality over quantity...We all know theat the Ohmforce people know what they are doing and it does sound Phantastic. Best Moog emulation I ever heard and I've got one to compare ;-)

This is one synth that makes me want to part with my money and that's about the first time a softsynth does....

I'm new here, and just read about this soft synth. I have been playing for nearly 40 years and am just getting into the soft synth arena. I have a mini and a source but both are not the most reliable while playing live. I watched the video on G-Media's site with Rick Wakeman, my question is how easy would this to play in a live situation? I am used to fiddling with controls as I play but never a computer.

There's a new version available on the site (www.gforcesoftware.com) since yesterday. It would be worth to check it out for those experiencing problems!

Cheers,

Of course, it's difficult to play *and* use the mouse at the same time. That's why we introduced the Melohman technology, which is basically a dedicated octave on your keyboard you can use to change the sound. Each Minimonsta patch consists in reality in 12 different "sub-patches", each one corresponding to one of the twelve keys of the melohman octave. You can then use this special octave to morph while you play. The morphing time is velocity dependent.

You can use those twelve slots to do simple things, such as changing the cutoff, emphasis or enveloppes times, but also to more complicated things. You can indeed change all the parameters at the same time (which is in this regard more powerfull than tweaking one knob at a time with your free hand!)
