The advantages of VST3 are solely dependent on the host IMHO. I'd stay with VST2 as long as MIDI isn't dead and VST3 doesn't fully support it in expectation of something better.

I hope that you will optimize the code and also provide various quality options a la Diva (draft, fast, great, divine) for those of us with less powerful systems. I have no problem running Diva, Bazille, Zebra, Hive Repro One and Ace on this system. Hosts tested are FL Studio, Ableton and Reason.

See FAQ on first post for glimpse of hope on CPU savings.

But really also, neither the oscillators nor the filters sound great with lower settings. The filter doesn't even work with less oversampling, or would sound seriously muffled.

I can't say much about it. Please send a crash report to our support team (support@).

Lyrebird can be setup to act as a chorus or a delay. Use the Chorus/Short setting and add some modulation. The downside to this is that you lose the delay. I mentioned it somewhere yesterday but I'd like a mode that acts as a chorus and a delay (my System 8 has a Chorus+Delay mode for example).

Ah, there it's been hiding

The System 8 thing is similar to the ensemble effect on old Korgs?

I've been testing and haven't found anything important, but the higher than expected CPU usage. Two minor things:
1. In RePro-1, the browser preset info sometimes goes beyond the GUI effects or keys boundary, depending on patch.
2. In RePro-5, velvet presets can't be selected with the mouse wheel.

I guess it is what it is, then. Those with lesser systems will just have to pray for further code optimizations and live with fewer voices. As with everything, it is a tradeoff.

2010 Mac 3.3 Ggz Hexacore, OS 10.12
Ableton Live Beta 10
Motorbike Heidi:
MC off = 47% - Ableton Cpu gauge
MC on = 20%

Nice!

Since Multi Core is working well for me, please add a preference to keep it turned on.

Well, yeah... otoh, 5 years ago we had *many* people complain about Diva's CPU usage. In the past two or three years that went away, like almost completely. Computers *are* getting faster, even if GHz don't go up that much. Modern processors simply calculate important operations in fewer cycles than previous generations. E.g. additions and logical operations, funny enough, nowadays use half a CPU cycle to complete.

Just noticed this. As a Repro-1 user, I'd just like to say thanks a ton for the free addition to an amazing product.

Thankfully our stuff is easily skinable. My gut feeling tells me there'll be alternative skins for all needs and desires within a few days.

Is that your Zebra 3 gut or your "I have secret knowledge because I'm the boss" gut?

I think there are quite a lot of us who are experiencing a huge difference in performance and not seemingly adversely affected by multiple instances, so I'd add another plea to rethink this.

What? I've never heard that. In fact, I've heard the opposite. Cockpits and planetariums all use red on black because it doesn't affect your night vision (and undoubtedly, dark studios and bedrooms)

Blue on black is terrible.
