Hello all,
I ran the demo of this thing fairly well, even used it on a record, but now that I have purchased it I have had nothing but problems.
I could not get the 8v to play more than a couple of notes on my dual G5. It was frustrating. It turned into the noisy garbage people are apparently running into with this. I raised and lowered the buffers and the polyphony in every possible combination. Nothing worked. I thought "I have a new dual quad core coming in two weeks so I will put this out of mind for now."
First synth I install on my new machine, 7 gigs of ram, dual quad core, same exact problem. Actually maybe slightly worse. I update to 1.0.3. Again, just as bad. I cannot play more than a couple of notes without it completely shutting off in standalone mode with no other applications open. Patches go silent until I switch to the next sound (which should all be selectable from the buttons on the 'actual' synth, for the record).
Does anyone have any idea what is going on here? I have run many soft synths over the years and never run into anything like this, even on some pretty terrible machines.
As a longtime owner of an original Jupiter 8 I was not expecting this product to quite live up to its namesake but this is kind of ridiculous. If this is user-error I will gladly apologize for wasting your time....
