No problem installing, just copy the DLL into the correct directory and go.
The manual is OK, in English, but a French version might emerge in some time.
I have not encountered any incompatibility, I tested with Cubase 5 64bit, it runs smoothly.
(Using jBridge course, not all buggy bridge Steinberg).
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
I have a Intel Quad core Q6600 with an Asus P5W-DH, 8 GB of ram to 800Mhz, and 64bit vista integrale.
It is stable, and it is reasonable in terms of CPU consumption.
OVERALL OPINION
Having been involved in the development of the VST, I'll try to tell you a max.
The ME80 is an emulation of the CS80.
This had already been done by Arturia, but here it was done just in a different spirit.
Here, it was not a lot of added features compared to the original (there is still a delay and reverb), but the goal was to get as close as possible to the Original CS80.
Level of its authenticity from the Original is the one that I prefer.
You should also know that this is my own CS80 which served as a model for the development of VST, and I find it
very close to my real CS.
<strong>Gunnar</strong> is <strong>Ekornes,</strong> a Norwegian, who produced this wonderful instrument (He worked 2 years on this project).
Assisted by <strong>Max Fazio,</strong> an Italian, who is a true encyclopedia on the CS80, know about its modes
Operating the most subtle, and also helped a little by myself, who have provided all the audio files
(From truth) that they were required to do serious work, as well as feedback on
comparison between the real and CS ME80.
So who says CS80, said polyphonic aftertouch. The ME80 manages the course.
To take advantage, so it is better to have a master keyboard that has this feature.
Now, for people who have a keyboard to monophonic aftertouch, there is a mode
"Last Key". That is, if you select this mode, the aftertouch only happen on the last note played,
what I find is great. It does not replace a keyboard poly aftertouch (which is rare), but it can in many cases
to cope with a keyboard aftertouch mono. This is the first VST I see doing that.
Personally, I have a GEM S2 which has poly aftertouch, the coast is low opportunity, do not be shy
if you see one pass.
For the tape, he manages the pitch bend, but if you can find a mate Xpression Kurzweil, it works very well with,
this is what I have. (Eh! yes, I know it's very rare to find secondhand and it no longer made).
On the site you can listen 2 small demo I made with the S2 master keyboard, the ME80, convolution reverb
"Reverence" cubase 5, and nothing else. I advise you to listen, just go here:

To get closer to the sound of the original, there is a function that allows you to detune slightly the 16 VCO's like on the real. (Except the true it goes out of tune alone, no need for forcing), and it is not the 8 tracks that are out of tune is actually the 16 VCO's, there is also a little LFO allows
to fluctuate disagreement. This instability on the real CS is a component of its legendary sound.
So the price is $ 40US, given what it does is present.
I think it does not overlap with that of Arturia, I would say they are complementary.
(Arturia for new features, and this one for the authenticity of the sound from the original).
In addition, for those that have already Arturia, at this price is not a luxury to have both.
Accuracy anyway, there I am just not you praise the ME80, but you should know that I am not
financially interested in sales or even Max Fazio besides, it's just because we love the CS80,
we volunteered, there is no history of dough behind it.
One word about the authenticity of sound: A true CS if you listen Dry, it gives the same effect as in
Vangelis discs. Hey! well this one is like (since it emulates the real one), so just as true, it must
through the appropriate effects, so that it sounds ... but the result is guaranteed ...
The VCO's are in Free-Running, ie they evolve independently from each other in time.
I was a little long but I hope you have knowledgeable ... and I recommend it wholeheartedly.
