Subject: Re: [AN1x-list] OT: PPG Wave 2.v VST Softsynth

From: jondl <jondl@...>

Answered half of my own question ;-)

There is now a demo available from Steinberg for Mac & PC. It sounds
GREAT but the demo is crippled in functionality (couldn't test MIDI CC
assignments for example) and makes the_most_annoying "beep, beep, beep"
sound every minute or so - just to ∗remind∗ you that you are working
with a demo :-/

I'm not convinced (yet) that it's worth sharing CPU time with Logic or
not but the sound is GREAT (did I mention that?) and the price is much
more affordable than a MW II or XT.

regards,
Jon "I want new gear" Levinson
