    I have followed several open source projects, and none of them have been as whiny as this one. For example, “Reshade” has many forks where (Crosire) was not asked beforehand; they were simply taken from GitHub and used... And no one shed a tear.
    I think the main issue here is that the person using it has a bad reputation, which is why everyone is jumping on it.

    I think his products are very good, especially the Discovery and Discovery Pro, as well as the Vertigo. I've also bought his products. As long as he doesn't commit any serious crimes, it doesn't matter whether I like him or not. I'm not joining the witch hunt.

    It obviously is. Even if he hadn't before, after this he would (like @ItsFine said). The thread's title is accurate

    I saw this retroemulator in a video, later realized discodsp involved, and they are known to make vsts that slow down computers for no reason. Still tried out of curiosity and wanted to try that dx7.
    My mighty CPU, that can handle at least two dozen DSP65300 instances playing in a project, was slowed down by one retromulator playing a virus TI patch and no visual interface. I dont think I will be using it any further.

    The "official" suspect releases are pretty good for my workflow, despite some small details like preset recalling in saved clips.
    But I am pretty satisfied with what DSP65300 is doing!

    call me a conspiracy realist but I really think the big hardware companies do not want people creating that 90s music again. That music was magical.


    did not know kurzweil was possible but supernova and kurzweil also on my heart.

    I did not know about that, but at face value, the plugins I tested from this dev were very heavy, they gave me a hint of bad coding. Also the sound was ordinary, I think I checked the nord emulation, good interface, but thats about it.
