I tried it and it’s underwhelming to me. The UI is really clunky and other than the visuals there is no use to the VR setup at all.
They are fun instruments though but without automation and many button based menus, I can’t recommend.
Okay, that’s a cool idea. I will check that out tonight
Nevermind, looks like this was fixed in v0.18.1 because after upgrading it works fine.
I’ve been liking the demo videos of this thing. It’s making me consider the VST instead 😅. I love the idea of a physical synth but in the end I am always using my DAW anyway, making this a quite expensive midi controller in my case.
I am used to working on Ableton. I generally spend a lot less time on sound design when working standalone.
My projects in the DAW en up better definitely, but standalone I am having more fun and it feels a bit more explorative.
So I would say they serve different purposes. I am a hobbyist anyway so as long as I am enjoying myself I’m happy. I’m not that worried about workflow or productivity.
I’ve been testing for @eclipxe@waveform.social on a really cool plugin for Ableton Push, giving it song mode.
This means my Push is now actually a standalone device :D
I haven’t played the switch version but I’m guessing it is a direct port. Since the UI would feel a lot more “native” to the Nintendo Switch where button combinations and navigation are probably the most natural setup.
