Musicrow Crow Vintage Strings

- The installation is done it without problems?

No problem, this is a. Dll to place in the VST folder. There is no simpler. No activation key.

- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?

None at this time, I use Cubase VST and Cubase SX3. Vintage Strings is available and load without any problems.

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
The manual (in English) in pdf format is very simple and concise image of the intrument.

I have a PC 1 GB RAM, Asus K8N, AMD Athlon 64 3800 + 2 times, 250 GB HDD SATA. Only the Vintage Strings works perfectly and requires neither little nor too much resources. Say it is reasonable on this point and calls for consumer somewhat similar to an M-Tron for example. Of course, in combination with other Vst, it represents a significant additional burden. The software does rather quickly. In action, with Cubase SX, it can reach about 40% CPU usage depending on the number of notes played simultaneously.

I use it for 3 weeks and I do not regret this investment especially for the price: 14.50 euros + VAT: 19.37 euros. I especially like the vintage side perfect for new age music 70's and ideal for tablecloths new wave 80's. Although it is very typical in the manner of an M-Tron is an instrument that can sound good in very different musical styles.
He can be an interface repprocher a little cheap, simplistic settings (the bottom line is there), handling a little winded in the mouse, but at this price, how could one ask for more? Especially since the sounds are there, and a good fifty presets allow you to discover the extent of sonic possibilities and there is plenty to do. That's what makes it more "interesting" that M-Tron (again !!!), unlike sounds have frozen, Vintage Strings gives the user an opportunity to shape presets for convenience. Yet another good point for him was this synth sounds that I have not heard elsewhere except on a few tracks from Joy Division.
In short, a very good investment for those who love the mellotron, the good old Arp, Korg old, vintage.

Implemented without particular concern.

Use: the interface is terrible, BCLE and impractical! Jpg which is the visual background is the limit of the blur, the buttons are poorly legends, short work m. .. !

On my config (athlon Dual core 2300 / 2 GB of RAM COMPTITE / SATA Raid HD) when I load a sound I'm dj 10% or 15% (Ms Absynth does not take half!) and some sounds when I agreed plate (go, 6 notes!) may go up 40%!

Lamentable!

Despite the shameful BCLE interface (it is even difficult to find an app that has more than bcl, even in freeware!) And the total lack of value for money CPU, its keeping its promise: to revive the strings of the 70 machines.
