JP8 First Impressions

[sjs]

Hi

I just downloaded the JP8 V the other day and have a number of issues with it.
As other posts confirm the CPU usage is ridiculous. A pad with a bit of release instantly pushes the CPU % way up over 50% on my system (Athlon 3800+, 2GB RAM, XP SP3).
It also seems quite buggy. I've had more crashes in the last 2 days than I've had with all the other Arturia synths I own (MM V2, ARP 2600 V2, CS80 V2) put together.

If it doesn't get any better I'm going to ask to swap the JP8 for the Prophet 5 instead. I paid good money and I want a synth that works well.

Your other synths are brilliant Arturia, but the JP8 needs some work to make it usable.

Anyway, that's my 2'pence worth

On my 2007 MacbookPro (4GB RAM) the usage is between 10% and 28%.
While I too am all in favor of Arturia Updates, (especially making controller
patching maps more consistently recalled) I do get a lot of professional use
out of JP8 even the way it is.
