Subject: Re: [motm] OT: Moog Modular V Question

I bought it too. Played with it for a while and then deinstalled it and putit back in its box.
Not yet stable enough (OSX). Plus there's a lot of functions within the programthat are very "flaky", which is a big nuisance when you're composing. Whena soft synth requires more attention than everything combined in your rigto function my rule is to put it on hold until someone else gets it to workand swears by it.

The synth itself sounds amazing. Easily one of the best VAs out there,
I had a lot of fun playing with it. However...

I had a terrible time trying to actually write music with it. Why? It
crashes like nothing else. I could get it to blow up and take my
ProTools session with it in about 15 minute intervals. The stand alone
app would take a little longer. Arturia's excuse? "the plug-in Software
Development Kit we used for this version was still not stable at the
time we released the Moog Modular V"  WTF? And you released it anyway
and hoped no one would notice??  This is a beautifully sounding modular
synth marred by poor software engineering and quality assurance
practices.
