Dammit now the same with the latest Mariana update!

It's fixed now. Not that this should have been a problem in the first place.

Perhaps Moog should sell a Moog One plugin that can finance a proper iLok protection system.

I agree iLok just worked perfectly, switching to CR just complicated things.

I’d love to see Moog start pumping out more plugins, they have a great catalog of synths to emulate ! Cmon Moog

Just picked up Mariana to feed the GAS monster. Whole process was quick and slick.
Activated, but not explored yet.

Had a few days to play with it.
Love the sound, the modulation options, and the ease of coming up with good stuff.

Ran into a couple snags though. Running it on an older mid level pc laptop, the computer got hot as a pistol.
It also crashed Cubase a couple times - hard crash - 'a serious problem has occurred' - with total lock ups.

Haven't had those problems on a newer, more powerful desktop computer, but I've got my fingers crossed.
Seems a real shame they can't get the cpu usage down.
Makes me wonder how the new Messenger keyboard will fare.

Made a few adjustments and I'll be able to use it now.
I'll probably have to 'freeze' or print to audio and do it first for whenever I use it.
It's still quite heavy.

First time I've had to move larger than 128 samples on this laptop,
and it's still using about twice as much as any other,
but the computer's not melting down now.

6 year old Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz 1.99 GHz in an off the shelf laptop.

My newer desktop computer does better with Mariana,
but it's still way more hoggy than most of my other stuff.

Specs call for:
"Windows 10 64-bit Intel Core i7 2.5GHz systems or newer, standalone and plug-in formats VST3, and Pro Tools AAX",
but I decided to give it a shot anyways.

The first i7 with 2.5GHz came out in 2021.
