Someone knows if there are demos of the plugs on the CW audio site yet?
I would like to spend some money to buy a new plug but there is a chance to test something before buying?
.... I can't really believe it....

it's possibly because they noticed that we noticed that the original demo timeout is associated with the reloading of DSPs, which means it doesn't time out as long as you run the same device in the same project :wink:

But hopefully they change it to something more reasonable than that ridiculuos single hour.
Imagine something complex as the Solaris (though that isn't a CWA synth) within one hour - no chance at all.

cheers, Tom

The demos were already timing out after an hour even without a reload - which I discovered to my great disappointment when fiddling the Prodyssey recently...

You can try my synths out for as long as you like, but you have to put up with the "ping"-sound in the demo versions, unfortunately. Making useful demos that still leave something to be purchased, in the end, is always a difficult issue for developers of software.

But in truth, when I am in consumer-mode, myself, I usually know pretty quickly whether I will want an instrument, or not. I find that it helps to know pretty clearly what sort of timbral quality I want from a musical tool as I start to look for that specific device to make it happen... or else that *something special* that just jumps out at me, right away -- or, in the case of something like the "Solaris" or "Red Dwarf", the sheer depth of the instrument is what draws me to it (the possibilties that I know cannot be quickly gone over in a demo... but are still very obviously waiting to be discovered).

I've tried an 'early' Prodyssey (close after release) and I'm almost certain it ran several hours - seems indeed they changed something :wink:

cheers, Tom
