Sounds good, but I wish there was a control for VCF drive
Control the filter drive by gain staging the oscillators into the filter and use the master volume to compensate for any volume loss/gain
Requires macOS 10.15 at least
Or Windows 10/11
Seems reasonable to support computers sold in the last 10 years.
That’s arbitrary. Why not 15 years ? Why not 20 years ? Why change a computer if it does the job ? It’s annoying to be forced to change for software that doesn’t support it. And computers did not get much more powerful during those 10 last years..
I’m not saying it’s entirely their fault, Apple probably doesn’t make it easy also. But some companies still manage to support those older systems.
Also it would be nice if Synthopia would mention those requirements up front. I did appreciate the “registration required”.
You don’t have to change a computer, just get a new one next to it. Things evolve on a basic level, so not all can be always ported to older systems.
Lol, how many computers do you have on your desk ?
Yes it can. It’s a matter of deciding to do it and putting the work in. In the end, it’s all 0 and 1.
Do you need iLok to use this?
on Windows, yes
I’ve got it running just fine on macOS 14.6.1. Great synth!
