Where are we with Windows for this? LOL.

From what dev said before, I don't think we'll see this on Windows until somewhere in 2018, possibly even second half...

Really nice.

Thanks chk, I appreciate the feedback!

The lead synth on this is also P900

Oh, I don't know. Maybe because I don't want anything to do with osx.

... except Pulsar 900. And a few other plugins too from what I've read.

Maybe consider a cheap mac like an old mini. Just get something updated enough to run 64 bit DAW and with enough power to run a heavy-load emulation you like, plus some headroom. I was doing music on a macbook pro 2.2Ghz i7 with a Geekbench 3/64 of around 9500. That was more than enough to do most of the tracks I do. I have sinced upgraded. But to run enough modern plugins to be interesting it could be 1/2 that speed. So looking at everymac.com you could go back to the 2011 Mac Mini which a Geekbench 3/64 of 5000. And you can run macOS 10.11 or the current .12 Sierra and be up to date. Looking on ebay sold listing they can be had for $200-300US. add a monitor, keyboard/mouse, free DAW, you're set!

Except here's the problem and it's not a small one.

I don't buy VSTs just to fiddle around with them or even just to make libraries with them. I buy them to actually make music. Go to my Soundcloud page and you'll see hundreds of tracks.

With Pulsar 900 on another computer, and my using Cubase 7 on my Windows PC to make all my music with, now I have to figure out a way to sync one computer to the other through my DAW, if it's even possible. At this stage of my life, unless it's something that's plug and play, I don't want to have to deal with the hassles. I just don't have the patience anymore.

As long as you had an audio interface for both the Mac and PC, it could be as simple as a MIDI cable and a couple of audio cables from one to the other, and set one to slave to the other with MTC. But yeah, I get it, it's a hassle. That's precisely why I never sync the two myself.

The developer of Pulsar 900 is a one man show so he sure have his work cut out for him. As far as I can tell from the quality of P900 he also make a very serious job with the plugin. I am also waiting for the Windows version but I have no problem waiting for something as nice as P900. I am sure it will be Worth the wait.

Yeah, I get that. it doesn't help me to integrate my Mac with my PC where I have all my other plugins when creating a track of music.

How do I load up Cubase in Windows, load in 32 different VSTs, create all my tracks for those and THEN load up Pulsar 900 on a Mac and get the Pulsar 900 integrated with those 32 tracks on my Windows machine?

If I can't do that EASILY I'm not interested.

I absolutely love the sound of this synth. It's really punchy. I am, however, having a problem. Is it possible to do fingered portamento with this synth? There's no portamento time control for legato mode. I know that I can control the glide by using the sample & hold module, but that's not the style i'm after for most of my patches.

P900 is still my favorite for vintage/analog/modular sounds (beside Zeeon maybe which is as awesome like this but with another character and it´s own distinct sound).
This thing has bite and can sound so gnarly and punchy/snappy/whatever as well but also great for lush and soft pads. Still amazed also how good the reverb sounds.
I only wish the mono/legato mode would not suck for velocity playing/modulations.
The first note is right (on legato also the second) but then it always jump to a velocity of 100 whatever i play in real. In poly mode it works fine.
I messaged the developer once and hoped it could be solved but still no sign.
If that would be solved it would be a dream machine.
The patch management could also be better but i can live with it.
Otherwise i just still love this thing and i hope Pulsar Modular works further on it.
