How are the strings? I am on a permanent lookout for non-hurdy-gurdy style high strings, but no luck so far, considering even EWQL or VSL.

Logicfreak – Go to “My Computer” and then “C drive” and then to the “windows” folder and then “temp” folder. Delete the files in the temp folder. this should speed up loading time and take care of SOME glitches. My load time went from 5 minutes to 50 seconds after i did this. Also a defragmentation wouldnt hurt. Hope this helps

Well, I dropped the $199 for the upgrade and I’ve spent a few days with it and so far I’ll have to say beware. I have a 3ghz xeon with 8gb RAM and with one instance alone with NOTHING else going on it’s eating up all my CPU. The sounds are mostly unusable noisy crap but there are a few jaw droppers. I’m not all that pleased with it’s RAM greed and it doesn’t replace Atmosphere as far as I’m concerned (although they assured me that all the Atmosphere sounds would be included, they are not.)
It’s also crashed several times in just two days. I’d hold off if I had it to do over.

Well my MacBook does meet the requirements, but I might need to be doing some live MIDI sequencing / audio loop playback and I dont want to get some glitches…..

the required specs are for what? barely running the plugin without crashin? running the plugin ok but with glitches? running the plugin well with no glitches? runnning 5 instances of Omnisphere at the same time?

need some precision, Mr. Eric Persing…

Time to buy a new computer MisterCharlie, this is going to be a CPU monster.

But you wouldn’t want anything else, would you?

The mothership has arrived.

need to see if it runs well or eats up 95% of CPU before buying…
