I was searching a plugin that could replace the JS MIDI arpeggiator plugin in Reaper (which doesn't work very well) and not too complex. It does well. Thanks.

Version reviewed: 1.0.17 on Windows

The main drawback of this software is its CPU requirements. I have a i7 3770 and it "cracks" on Reaper. The strange thing is that it works quite well in Reason. I guess it's a problem with multi-core handling.

Other than that, I would like to send a different MIDI sequence to each SEM separately but its is not possible. What is possible is to split the note range eigth times but you ends up with transposition problems.

The sound is quite good and the features need some time to explore (what I didn't really achieve at this time).

I like to run a little sequence on some SEMs and play with the others.

Actually it's not a "must have" but for the price it's fun to use. I could not use it in a song due to CPU requirements without freezing tracks.

For the price $15, it's a quite good sound. It has some character and the sound is quite homogenic over the keyboard, although some notes have more release, it's not too obvious.The sound is not over compressed compared to Ravenscroft 275 for example.

I have to do some EQ to enhance some frequencies because when playing chords it becomes a bit unclear. The keyboard response setting could be better as there is only presets.

I think the sound is better to play classical than Jazz.

I have a crash on Reaper but I'm not sure it was due to the piano since I was using also IK plugins to EQ.

Hi, .

I had a K1 in the past and I think this one is much less noisy than the hardware.

It's a very accurate recreation and I retrieve all the sounds I used with great pleasure.

Thank you.

Remark : I have a little bug I think when I clic on Edit on iA1-Voice preset, I get a green button on source 2 and when I clic on source 1 the source 2 stays green so both sources are green.

This is on Windows 10 / Reaper 6.
