1. In the Steinberg world you have to have an eLicenser indeed. Once you have it, no more problem. However I'd also like to have an internet based challenge-response protection, similar to Reason. Hopefully they will improve it into this direction.EnGee wrote:Yes I agree. It has a very nice sound with very low cpu usage. Retrologue 2 expanded in many things from Retrologue 1 (also the price!).tripleflows wrote:Steinberg Retrologue 2
But it has 3 cons for me, and maybe because of those cons, people are not so inclined to use it:
1- Problematic with e-licenser software (I don't know why I had continuous problems with it and with Padshop Pro). Those problems disappeared when I purchased a USB e-licenser and moved the licenses to it.
2- The GUI interface is small compared to other synths (no other sizes to switch to).
3- There is annoying noise sometimes, like clipping! But I can solve it by turning down little bit the Amplifier Level knob.
Anyway, I really love Retrologue 2. It can do great thick analogish pads that only could be gotten with synths like Diva and LuSH 101.
2. The GUI size: at 1920x1200 or 3440x1440 I do not have any problem. But it should be improved to be able to use it more on 4K, as I mentioned here: https://synthmorph.com/blogs/news/16021 ... e-2-review - see the 'future improvement' section, hopefully in Retrologue 3
3. Well, after working very extensively with R2 I never experienced this noise artifact. As this is a plug-in you sometimes have to take care of gain management manually, also make sure that any distortion mode is off.
