Yeah, pretty much the same story here. Bought it, installed it, played with it for 10 minutes and havent touched it since.

Im still waiting for the Psicraft Vyzor version...

ya you reminded me ...it was made by emagic ...too bad apple didn't continue that soundiver ...

what other alternatives are there other than this reckon audio one cause I understand theres no multi patch management right? and its poor resolution.
Yes I know vizor has been claiming to come out for like a decade now

And I need it to be Universal binary or ppc whatever I as long as its mac
oh and one more thing...does the reckon work as stand alone ? if so that would be a cool feature since not everyone uses vst hosts now these days

No, it's a VSTi only.

Unfortunately the word "works" could only be used in the broadest possible context with respect to the current release. This is such a great concept that misses the mark by some way. For this to be worth bothering with it needs:
1) Proper patch management - Ability to load library files produced by other editors and / or a standalone with the ability to run outside of the constraints of the VST environment to grab entire bank dumps from the Virus.
2) In the interim before 1) provision of at least the presets in a form (.fxb) it can read to give a reasonable starting point.
3) A more legible GUI.

I am concerned that the developer has now openly declared that his resource on this project is limited. IMHO this product could provide a unique function in its marketplace, making it a must have for anyone using a Virus with a DAW. - That would surely generate enough sales to make it worth the effort?
