BRASS 2.0 has just been released!

Hi

Brass 2 sounds great well done Arturia.

However it does seem the be VERY processor hungry.

I have quite a new iMac 3.06 GHz intel core 2 Duo with 8GB RAM. I first tried it in PT8 and the processor use was very high and often over 90%. I then tried it in Logic 9. The processor use was also over 90% at times.

Any way I can reduce this?

It doesnt work with Sonar 8.5 - I removed and reinstalled with no success.  Brass 1 works fine as well as Brass 2 standalone.  As soon as it is initiated in Sonar 8.5 (32bit version) it crashes Sonar.  Hope a solution is found fast....

I wonder how it works in Sonar 64 bit (I'm using 32 bit as well). It seems solid in Live 8 (under XP Pro 32 bit).

BTW, any WX5 wind controller users here? If I lose the initial velocity, will I get a better dynamic change (i.e., control over volume via continuous controller 02) and legato?

It doesn't work with 64 either. I am running Sonar 8.5 x64 (Win 7)on one machine and Sonar 8 x32 (Win Vista) in another machine... both with the same result. Brass 2 crashes Sonar.

@everyone
After some last testing period, we released a bug fix (v2.0.1) yesterday evening; I just posted an announce here.
All of the above issues should be corrected, let us know if not!

Brass 1 user here.. Am I correct in my understanding the update to Brass 2.0 is a free one?

@sid
Yep, just download and install the latest update, let your dongle inserted, launch the instrument, et voilą!
Make sure to also read the 2.0 user's manual for better use.

Man this is a CPU cycle muncher here.. Older system: Pentium D 2.8 with 2g of memory.. New Cubase 5 project 2 8 bar midi tracks idling at 65% and 85% with numerous pops when I hit play.. Interface is a Focusrite Saffire set at 13.5ms ASIO Buffer. Going to 20ms is a little better.. Still pushes 70% on the ASIO meter..  Is that normal?? It's just that hungry?
