Odd - installed 1.20.0 on Ventura yesterday with no issue. File size of the zip says 77.6 mb.

There are legatos in Musio that work well for me - more so in the ensembles than the solo actually. (do the trial!)

I mean, I SO don’t need it, but your evangelism has me considering it at $199.

13 hrs to go.
Don't take my word for it (or indeed anything). But quick, give it a demo, see if there are nuggets you could use. I find there really are some hidden gems in there.

Gadzooks. $199 for Musio 1 this weekend.

https://musio.com/whats-included/

This is deceptive marketing imo because they don't use their own branding of Musio 1, just Musio - which is the entire catalogue ongoing. This offer is products up to 2023 ONLY, but that's still an incredible deal.

Sample handling is fine with K7, it's just the initial startup of the first plugin it seems for some users. On my Macbook it's fine, but not W11.

Thanks Guy, for confirming that you have awful taste in music 😆 Jay, this is pretty weird. You said you have no interest in the product whatsoever because it's all hip hop sub bass and RnB.

Re: Cherry Audio CR78 Drum Machine

Uh-hem - hip hop was the TR808, which came considerably later. The CR78 predated it by some way, launched in 1978, and it came nowhere close to sub bass. As the 2nd video shows, musically it's most synonymous with Phil Collins, Blondie, Joe Jackson, Peter Garbriel, Hall & Oates, Ultravox and Tea...

Cherry Audio CR78 Drum Machine

Have to say this looks and sounds smashing. It's a faithful recreation of the Roland CR78, but with added flexibilty to tone shape, program and add effects. It's not samples - the first audio I heard the snare didn't sound right to me, but it sounds like you can get it pretty authentic with the righ...

This was such a fun thread. If anyone still wants to be swayed by Trevor Horn's alleged Jupiter, it's currently on sale for £54. I was saying to someone the other day that the first half of the 70s is probably my least favourite era since the 50s. I seem to find a lot more I like either side of it. ...
