Waldorf PPG v3 opinions

It's actually quite amazing synth if you play with it for a while and learn to program it.

If you have the evaluation license you could use any version which is available including the latest 1.02. In fact with the eLicenser protection there i nothing like a real "demo" version just the license type is different.

I tried 1.02 with Ableton but response was so so sluggish I couldn't play anything. With Logic it crashed two times while I was browsing your nice presets.

I have a quite old macbook but it can run Synth Squad and Diva better than this. Could it be that CPU usage is drastically more than with mentioned plugs?

CPU use should not be higher than those but it could be high depending on how many voices you set in the "Global" menu. Usually i don't set more than 24 voices there which would correspond to 6 notes when using the QUAD key mode (in the "DIGI" menu).
In my commercial "Atmospheric Transients" soundbank (see my signature or the links i posted above) this is the standard setting.
With that setting i got no big problems using the PC/Windows version in Ableton Live 8.3.3.
