installation failure on my XP Pro partition, most of my own scores, both as a VST plug logic 5.5.1 (UFO invisible logic) in standalone via SAVI.
Reboot XP home, the first step of the installation time.
Hats off to the standalone installer, the job is maché is ideal.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Portable thoshiba pentium4 M 2Ghz, 512 MB, RME HDSP Multiface, the synth is very reasonable CPU resource.

OVERALL OPINION

First impression of the GUI:
Not easy to read blue screen, a little too fuzzy and too much contrast for my poor little eyes.
Not easy to find the preset section because it is not defined, in fact, once found can not forget it when it does not matter.

The first sounds:
Very quickly I thought the sounds that you get with the Ozone plugin, we are in the trash, and it is the CRADA.
But here no bit crusher, everything is in the oscillators.
Then very quickly we appreciate the soft filter plustot that goes well with these oscillators is very complete with a 12 and 24 dB and above a transition from lowpass to pass progressive High
and behind is the surprise with the forms that give more originality, at first we do not really know how to use them but the interface is very intuitive it finished quickly by finding things musical.
by chance I stumbled upon the modulation and is immediately seduced by the principle of colored arrows.
It's great and super powerful.
At this point we understand the whole point of the XY display as modulations become vectors, brilliant!
The effects section is simple but effective, no need for complicated with too many effects of sounds already tortured.
Small details are reviewed and the presets that can hack it a bit quickly annoyed by the backup window of presets, that's great to have that safety net but we should be able to disengage, it may be possible but I have not found.
Conclusion:
In fact the machine closest to my filter is UFO Sherman Filterbank I love, amazing sound and yet easy to use.
It feels good to leave the nth copy of analog synth, too much low fat is not the specialty of UFO.
Often produces an original sound should bone up a very complex apparatus or be led by a cryptic machine, with none of that UFO is original, easy and above all logical.
