CPU Wise it's on par with the Synthix or some Oxium patches. (And when I made a cover of Jarre oxygen I used more than 10 Synthix presets without having to freeze anything on my old Q9650 antique PC)Alex Cremers wrote:Yesterday I played with the demo, sound is impressive, the looks are gorgeous, but it's probably the most CPU hungry VSTI that I've ever encountered.

It also dépends on presets, and on what you actually play ( V+ has 49 notes polyphony so with long release times the real number of acie voices at a gien moment can grow vey fast, and this is especially true wit some arpegiatted presets with fast rates )
This said this what the V+ will give you :
•One finely tweaked and emulated Top Octave Divider aliasing free oscillator, providing up to 49 voices of polyphony.
•Access to a lot of parameters which its hardware model kept secret under the roof.
•One strings section.
•One human voices section.
•One 10 bands vocoder.
•A virtual keyboard ( from which notes can be saved in your presets).
•An Advanced Stereo Space effect.
•A simple but nice sounding reverb.
•A Analog like resonant Phaser.
•Up to 6 free assignable modulation nodes, with up to 14 sources and 24 destinations.
•A special Glide function.
•A finely tweak analog-like pitch tracker.
• All parameters are MIDI controllable
Human Voices need up to 14 filters, and the strings need another 7, the Ensemble is actualy a complex architecture of several BBD units. And all this is modelled in the V+ with the greatest accuracy. The reverb is simple, but yet has an open sound, so not the kind of boxy amnbiance you can encounter in some software instruments.
Add all this, and I think these are reasons why the V+ sound is so appealing a soon as you play it. Xils full and organic, living sound. And why, yes, the V+ has a certain CPU cost.
I'd really suggest to anyone interested in the V+ to try one of the demo versions ( With or without dongle ) and see i it fits their needs, and what is the CPU print on their system.
