Is there a way to lock HQ to be always on? (a quick look at the manual I didn't find it, would be nice to have it as an option in menu)
Thanks.

Not currently, it's planned for 1.1 (along with pitch bend range lock).

You're gonna burn twice the CPU for not a huge difference in sound, just FYI.

Yes please...I want HQ mode on all the time. As it is now I have to keep turning it on patch by patch.

Hmmm. Maybe my ears are going but I heard a difference that was quite discernible.

Perhaps it's psychological but I hear it too.

There are some minor differences in 2 pole mode when pushed and when cross mod and ringmod are used. But a huge difference, personally I wouldn't classify it as such. Certainly wouldn't make or break a mix. Just my 2c!

That's a big job

I tried the stand alone on Windows 11 and it said I couldn't run it. I didn't bother researching the reason why.

That's probably SmartScreen being a smartass, since the binary isn't signed (IIRC). You'd have to add an exception. There's no reason why it wouldn't work on W11 (it works fine on my W11 machine).

I don’t know if this has been discussed but, I noticed, that after modifying a preset then saving the Project in Cubase 15 (Mac), recalling the Project presented the OBXF with its original preset… not the modified one I saved with the Project. I can’t think of a single synth I have that does this, so I’m guessing it might be a bug?

Is there a PDF of the user manual ? The machine I use it on is not online.

Not currently.
