will give it a spin - this has got the scalable interface, like Wavestation, right?

As far as I can tell there's no way to scale the UI, but it has three sizes that reveal a different amount of the panel — compact (no keys, original panel only), normal (original panel + keys), and full (everything). In the compact/normal sizes you can simply scroll up to reveal the secondary panel with all the stuff that doesn't exist in the hardware (arp/sequencer/effects). The UI is high res and looks fantastic on a retina/4K display.

So i't's different to Korg WT v2 which is freely resizable (perfect!) or Obsession which has 3 choices (OK)

Yes, it is.

Because this old thread was recreated, I’ll update my evaluation of the product:
useless.

It simply kills your computer, my i7 cpu load
-laptop: 20-700 % (depending on the preset)
-desktop: 15-100 % (depending on the preset)

Korg support: non-existent.

P.s. I own all the Korg software, some are good ones.

Adjust polyphony and it goes down. Many patches have 8 or 16 voices poly, it does affect CPU. There's some serious number crunching going on in there. Totally worth it for the sound, but yes, you gotta manage your polyphony.

i7-6700K at 4.5 GHz here, CPU usage is entirely manageable if you watch out for stuff like this.

Couldn't resist Odyssey with the current price, but something I noticed right away: The plugin looks really blurry and lo-res in Logic. When I open it in Live (either VST or AU) on the same computer, it looks all right. The window sizes are the same, but in Logic it just looks blurry and awful - take a look at the screenshot (1:1 scaling between the two images). Never seen anything like this before. A quick googling didn't find anything relevant. Any ideas?

Latest OS X & Logic & Live, MacBook Pro with an external 5K monitor (the same thing happens on both internal & external monitor).

You can always count on KVR!

I have 10 gold records, several platinum records and one double-platinum, all from music I produced with Logic, so I'd say it's good enough, at least for me.

I guess I should edit my post too.

Has anyone noticed that the VCO1 or VCO2 fm modulation when set to be modulated by the ADSR does not track it very well? On the attack there is a significant jump in frequency about mid way into the attack and unless sustain is set to near maximum you get the same frequency jump down.

The size of the jump is dependent on the FM amount slider but it's pretty much there at all levels. I got to compare it to a Behringer Odyssey last night and the Behringer ADSR modulates the frequency as expected.

How close are the hardware Odyssey and 2600? I understand many of the components are the same.
