revox And please, open your own thread and post your complaint there. To pollute the announcement thread like this is, in my worldview, simply evil. You either have no compassion for the developer, or you are intentionally trying to destroy the product and harm sales with your comments.
Well, maybe.
I lurk on a number of piano forums.
This one perhaps has the largest concentration of users who really push the limits of piano VSTi technology for solo piano performance.
So there's the eternal search for the holy grail -
the VSTi piano that half pedals and re-pedals, that has a perfect velocity curve out-of-the box for MY controller, that has real sympathetic resonance, that doesn't sound artificially perfect, that has perfectly constructed velocity layers where no note changes its tuning in the slightest from one to another, that offers silent-key, that has true una corda, and that meets a number of other criteria I'm not coming up with at the moment.
And if one is blind, like David, the amount of independence he can have based on the accessibility that the developers bothered to engineer into their product is a significant concern.
So when something new arrives, there's a feeding frenzy to see how many "must-haves" are now satisfied in the search for the ultimate instrument.
I've no doubt that a lot of work goes into all commercial offerings.
But a maxim I've well learned over the years is
"We judge ourselves by our intentions. Others judge us by our actions."
Or in this case, people who have a lot of experience with a number of competing products have learned what they want to look for in a new offering.
I don't think it's malice on the commenters' parts, just the natural pursuit of self-interest. To label that "evil" seems a bit hyperbolic.
