I'v been waiting for free pc interface for my rev2 to appear on the net in some form or another for quite a while and as nothing seems to be appearing I would like to ask fellow users as to the value of the standalone and vst soundtower application? Do they work well?
-
The UI is horrible, very skeuomorphic, there are lingering bugs which they handwave away, there is no real "manual" though there are a hodgepodge of very poorly detailed instructions, but overall the Soundtower editors work.
I find their librarian functionality acceptable but the UI makes it incredibly easy to accidentally overwrite presets on your synth and - again, due to a lack of even basic thoroughness in their instructions - it's almost impossible to understand how it's best meant to be used. I personally don't bother with it much anymore, and I generally regret I bought it, but it does make programming the gated sequencer possible, as I find the on-synth screen nearly unusable for most functions.

I don't use them either, I bought them for a while but I'm over that. I'd rather just play my P10 than mess around with any of that.

For anyone interested I ending up purchasing codeknobs software. I a b compared both soundtower and codeknobs and codeknobs wins hands down. Very happy with the purchase and the developer is very helpful and friendly
