Synth1 alternative for Mac and PC

Hi, I'm in the final stages of deciding to buy a MacBook Pro, and all that's really holding me back is compatibility. My band uses a Nord Lead 2, and we've been throwing about ideas using Synth1 patches, as we find it's reasonable as a clone. Unfortunately I can only find Windows binaries for it, so...

I'm serious though, I tend to not like any of that scene of music, but this song actually struck me pretty good. http://myspace.com/linkinpark the first song on there. not that I give it a huge amount of credit but I dig it much more than their other tunes. I like the mix on it too actually it soun...

The BPM tool is great, I always run a song through it and the enter the BPM in Live before warping. Dunno if you meant the BPM tool in Mixmeister itself, or this freebie one: http://www.mixmeister.com/download_freestuff.html- which I presume is re-use of the routines in MixMeister itself. If you di...

I thought you said it was published on 18th July - I know mags come out early to subscribers and so on, but usually only a few weeks.

1) yes when i start the virus it says OS 2.8 2) no i only see the banks A and B and on the manual they explain plenty of interesting things but nothing about where the banks C and D are.... I imagine the manual was not updated when the OS was updated. I strongly advise that you check with the Acces...

i have the manual in my hands but still can't understand... the information given is not that clear... The Virus manuals are poor (IMO). Ask yourself some questions: 1) When you start up the Virus, does it say OS 2.8? 2) When you switch banks, do you have banks A, B, C and D? If your answer is no t...

thanks, the new OS i installed yesterday comes from this page but i'm still looking for "512 single-patches"... I suspect that you've maybe updated the OS, but not loaded up any of the patch-banks. Think about it - you'd be pretty pissed if you had spent years crafting patches, and an OS ...

Re: User Manual in Boxed Version -- Color?

I can get the b&w PDF printed at my local print shop for more than half the price. For me it's the binding. I've printed manuals before, and they've always been a pain to read. The Live manual is the right size for a casual read, and the binding makes it easy to lay flat on the desk while you t...

I know that you want to encourage subscriptions. One way to do that and still offer individual purchases is to offer past packs at a discount to current subscribers. I would wager that would result in more sales and more revenue than the current Premium subscription. Got to agree with this. As a re...

Hmmmm, and this works? they have a mac version now, but the rekon webpage says that it (mac or pc version) doesn't support live... i still want to use it, guess i'll try the demo. Let me know if you have any success. I've been wanting to try their Virus editor but the lack of Live compatibility has...

Did you find new drivers to be necessary? It seems to be working fine for me on the CD-supplied drivers so I'm reluctant to install more than necessary. That said, I probably haven't taxed it yet.

I only got one recently, and am not exactly an Abelton power user, but I've found it to be fine. No problems with drivers or anything like that.
