Hello
Is there an upgrade path from MSoundFactory LE to the full version? If yes, how much is the upgrade fee (couldn’t find it on Melda’s site)?? Thanks.

They write this:
"Upgrade price calculation
We subtract 70% of what you have spent so far for the products included in a bundle (or product) you wish upgrade to.
If we have no record of the price you paid (ie you bought from a reseller) we assume you bought at 50% off (hence it is advantageous to purchase from us directly if you plan to upgrade.) Minimum upgrade price is € 10."
I think I bought MSF LE for 50% off and additionally used my $10 Newsletter subscription. So I paid something like $40 for it. So my discount on the Upgrade ends up being only 11%. (291 instead of 328).

I think you should get the upgrade when it is on sale.

In any case, I’ve been demoing MSF over the last few days and like it quite a bit, but I keep getting audio crackling and cpu spikes (my system specs below), I tried it at a buffer of 128 (my usual) and up to 512 (a bit better but not glitch free) - Is it that much of a cpu hog (for reference, other cpu heavy VSTs like Omnisphere and IKM SampleTank work without a hitch)???

No, they just assume it was 50% off. So you might actually end up getting a bigger discount if you bought it somewhere else during a bigger salesafari70 wrote: Fri Jul 28, 2023 4:32 pm Ok thanks… so if you buy it from a 3rd party, they actually ask you how much you paid for LE?? Interesting…

Can't really speak to your specific setup, all I can say is it runs fine on my laptopsafari70 wrote: Fri Jul 28, 2023 4:38 pm In any case, I’ve been demoing MSF over the last few days and like it quite a bit, but I keep getting audio crackling and cpu spikes (my system specs below), I tried it at a buffer of 128 (my usual) and up to 512 (a bit better but not glitch free) - Is it that much of a cpu hog (for reference, other cpu heavy VSTs like Omnisphere and IKM SampleTank work without a hitch)???

I’m getting a Mac Studio (m2 max) soon hoping it will be powerful enough…
