Use: live and studio synths (U20 and SY77 keyboards in control only) and guitar (Variax 700 + Behringer FCB1010 MIDI foot controller).
The installation runs without any problems and updates (frequent) can be done through the menu of Forte. there are some incompatibilities Vsti, as cited in the opinion below (Vsti no GUI) that can be solved by installing the VSTi host Chainer example. If not, the ones I use I have not found (Superwave8, CakewalkTTS1, MrRay2.2, B4, FM7, Vsampler3, Atmosphere, GlaceVerb, Juicy77,
JVM900, GR2, etc.. Setup is very easy. After the installation it configures its hardware, its drivers and audio inputs and outputs and noon through the menu. The manual is clear but only in English. But Forte is very instinctive, and reluctant to Shakespeare's language should not have problems ...
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
My config: Acer Aspire 1600 (HDD60go 7200 rpm, 1024MoDDR, P43.2), XPProSP2 and M-Audio Quattro Omnii + / A + Midisport4x4
It should be noted that it will modify the options.ini for users of Quattro http://www.brainspawn.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1391&highlight=quattro 2Busb% ( http://www.brainspawn.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1391&highlight=quattro%2Busb ) )
CPU consumption "empty" is negligible (less than 5%) and I does not save any stability problems so far. Be careful not to alter the quality of cooling your machine as there are peak demand loading of plugins that can destabilize your system. But that is not attributable to Forte itself. Live in condition, I spend driving noon (manuals and pedals) to control audio seamlessly, and even the two together.
OVERALL OPINION
I use Forte for about 2 years and I love its flexibility, its ability to route midi and audio without limits, applications for live use (this is its primary purpose), monitoring technique, his Frequent updates, etc.. I had tried other hosts (DSound, Chainer, VSTHost) who, despite their qualities n'alliaient not all the benefits of Strong (routing, split keyboards, detune, etc.).. Also, if you want to control the hardware is possible thanks to the plugin EHCO brainspawn well. So, in my opinion, soft to live with the plugins. And € 100, there's really nothing to do without!
