BTW, I can run and play Legacy Cell as a standalone, so go figure. I don't understand what is wrong.

Sooooo weird. Totally works here.

Love the Odyssey but it is a real cpu hog on PC.
Reminds me of how bad the Jupiter 8 was in the beginning.
Anyone else having cpu problems with it?

OK, so I got it to work

My suspicion was that I installed MS-20 (only that one plugin) to a non-default directory. After reinstalling using only defaults, then editing the vstplugins64.ini as you mentioned, deleting LegacyCell, then restarting Reaper, Voila! I have Legacy Cell.

Thanks EvilDragon for pointing me in the right direction, and I'd caution everyone about using non-default directories with these installers. I was just trying to keep it off my C drive, but apparently that is a no-no. Maybe it was that things were split, I don't know for sure, but it works now.

Using non-default folders with these new installers is useless anyways, since whatever path you input is disregarded, and plugins get installed to wherever Korg wants to. Major fail.

BTW, you CAN have those plugins away from your C: drive, you just need to move them out manually...

But it must have done something somewhere, written the path in some settings file or something, I'm sure that was the variable that made it fail. They are smallish files ultimately, I think I'll leave them where they are since it is working

I think this is the tricky bit: it does install the programs (but not the vst .dlls) where you tell it, but it installs the actual program files by default to C:\Program Files (x86)\KORG\KORG Legacy. I chose a different location on my data drive, I suspect had I done the same for all of the installers, and all the applications were in the same directory, LegacyCell would have been happy. It probably just looks to the same directory it is located.

Back to Odyssey, it is a CPU piggy. It is more taxing than Repro with poly turned on.

Strange....i can run 10-20 on my iPhone (the Gadget which use the same engine). Maybe bad optimized...

Yeah, I have an older iPad and it is no problem on that. Badly optimized or more refined, I dunno, I can't tell yet. But I like what I hear, that is the most important thing, and I'll be using it mono, not for chords and pads.

Hope it will get optimized since i can only run 1 instance and if i add Repro to the mix it is game over :/
But if i only uses Repro i can add many instances.

How is it on Mac vs PC is it more optimized?

I wonder if that is on mac too. Gadget is mac and iOS only as i remember and it might be really bad windows optimized from Korg.
I wouldn´t want to buy a more expensive plug-in of a (great) sounding synth when my little iPhone runs more instances than a desktop or powerful notebook.
Maybe a rushed out release trying to get some Christmas money

Dunno, I'm on PC Win 10. I haven't tried it along side Repro yet. Not happening tonight, I better get to bed before my wife finds me awake

I don't know that it is the same code as the iPad version. A lot of things may get optimized for iPad and pay some sort of sonic price to get running on that hardware, as nice as my iPad is, it is nothing compared to my i7.

I have to say I am enjoying it more in my DAW than I had in Gadget. I actually liked Berlin on the iPad more, it just was better laid out in GAdget, and iPad Mini doesn't do the synth UI justice. I really do wish they allowed resizing on the PC though, that is unfortunate and I hope gets remedied.
