Beta testing crew

@jay That's a cool mockup. Does my Mac installer include an RTAS plugin? It shouldn't include AAX. You also need a GNU logo on there, and maybe a penguin too :P No need to mention xtant audio, I'm keep Librewave as a separate brand.

@d-healey ok, just send me the info you need it to have and I change it right away, LOL

[d.healey]

@jay Well like I say I don't send PDFs with my products, I do appreciate the effort but it's not something I will be able to make use of :)

Hi guys! Spectral-modeled Electric piano ready for beta testing. Mac/PC VST AU. Download links below.

What's my biggest concern? performance since it includes 60+ modules

Wrote on another thread:

Tested !

opened in all my daws without problems !
performance ?: 25/26 % max when playing like a fool on it. beetween 15 and 20% when playing full Chord.

sounds really good. but:

easy to saturate with high velocity (it maybe wanted, it's part of the sound style ?). Sound is a little bit "brighter" than other mark II or stage 73 vst i have.

Maybe put an LPF filter (of course Marl II hasn't) and calling it "Brightness" to control and have some darker/buttery soft sound ?

And maybe just lowering each partials master volume.

But as a freeware it's absolutly playable and nice sound ! (just waveforms, no sample. Absolute fabulous !)

Ah ... if you want to do freeware vs commercial. This as a freeware is good. Just add keyboard and preset system (without presets, but just so the user can record his own settings) for the commercial version (and maybe the filter in it, not in the freeware)

@staiff thanks for taking the time to test it!!!!

A darker sound can be archived lowering the fundamental and bell on UI. But I know what you are talking about. Maybe the default preset should be darker.
It's all about harmonics mixing. But they are...... A lot!!!

What's your preferred Rhodes VST ?

Have you built this with the latest develop branch or with HISE master 1.5.1?

Projects like these might heavily benefit from the new modulation architecture in terms of CPU performance.

[hisefilo]

@christoph-hart Mac is built with develop branch downloaded 5 days ago. Win is 1.5.0 Will compile on PC newest Hise version before releasing

[Christoph Hart]

Ah OK, did you figure out the weird GUI lagginess issues?

[hisefilo]

@christoph-hart nope. In fact I use 1.5.0 master for editing, and develop for compiling. I can give you access to my Mac via TeamViewer if you want to investigate it.

[hisefilo]

@christoph-hart oh... And develop gives me unexpected quits after those lags
