- The installation of the software is no problem, everything is complicated by the cons Syncrosoft dongle protection, which for some reason does not work on my most powerful computer. I am still awaiting a response from Arturia other than "install the latest version of Syncrosoft (évidemennet!)," A crack is installed or was installed on your computer "(no!), or" your ports USB may be defective ", etc.. I do not even speak Syncrosoft site that does not help useful.

So bad grade on this ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

- What is the configuration of your computer? (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Disk / sound card ..)
- The software works he correctly on this configuration?
- What performance? (If quantifiable)
- This software + hardware is stable?

On my old G4, soft, very resource intensive, s serious trouble with some presets, and polyphony. Both say right now, I have to use my G4 in stand-alone and I can forget to run a DAW simultaneously Analog Factory.
As mentioned above, the software does not work on my better machine (Mac OSX 10.5.x 2.5 GHz intel core duo), due to an unknown problem of soft protective Syncrosoft. So I can not tell you his current behavior on a machine ... but I imagine much better

I do not will note this

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using my 3.

the most:

Many presets +
+ A big greasy
+ Legendary synthesizers in your computer!
+ Behavior "analog" synthesizers all good "virtualized"
+ Is a good mix of different products for affordable Arturia

Cons:

- Major consumer of CPU resources
- The possibility of limited edition (we can not have everything of course)
and especially:

- - - Dongle synchrosoft: so restrictive and limiting to legal users ... and in addition allows himself to the whims: a real bad choice on the part of manufacturers

I put all the same 5 / 10 because the sound is really good, but less dramatically down the note.
