Best value:
Excellent
- The installation is done it without problems?
A slight problem during installation. Nothing serious.
- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
No, but ... see below (Suitability / Performance)
- The general configuration is easy?
Yes, no problem.
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Especially clear and pedagogical: we learn much about the ethnic instruments.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
- What is the configuration of your computer?
PC Dual core 2 x 2.6 Ghz, 2 gigs of Ram, 200 gigs of HDD, sound card Novation Speed / O
- The software works he correctly on this configuration?
Well, no ... I have a PC and a Mac G5. I installed it on the PC for now and I can use it in stand alone mode, but once in Logic, I selected as an instrument VST and I have no sound ... any ideas?
- This software + hardware is stable?
Windows, it's still crap ... I can not wait to install Logic and my synth to my new Mac G5.
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
2 weeks ... Stand alone mode only, so ...
- What is so special that you like most and least?
I love the interface, beautiful, clear, intuitive.
I like less "loops." I would have preferred more solo instruments.
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Yes, I have RA Instruments EastWest and the price difference is clearly justified: RA Instruments is a huge cut above in terms of its finesse and quantities of samples.
- How would you rate the quality / price?
Very very good.
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
I do not know. If I use it in Logic, in my music, perhaps. For now, Stand alone mode only, I mumuse 15 minutes and then I get bored
In conclusion: very good soft with a lot of sound quality for some. For others, it's a bit dull (the stereo not great) and despite a very good value for money, it can not compete with RA Instruments EastWest which remains a major reference for the ethnic sounds (no fuss, one goes to the essence).
