Given my clumsiness with it I'm amazed I can play the wx with the same fingers (well, - not really good with that either). I guess (hope) practice will make acceptable.
Initial thoughts and observations.
- It will load any AU one wants and will run a midi HWsynth although mapping the controllers is an interesting exercise
- It has two modelled instruments of its own (clarinet and cello) and more are planned
- Soundfonts are soundfonts but theirs are actually quite good (if less than expressive. They are definitely ok in a mix and the supplied piano is good for a solo
- The amount of data this thing spews is astonishing and has not (yet) been tapped by the software
- The software works and is stable but it is really early days. Eigenlabs are working to release a 'workbench' to create setups and an interface to 'belcanto' which is their scripting language. These are needed additions.
- The interface is completely via the instrument. This is wonky but brilliant for performance and intriguing as a concept.
