Hi Adam! First of all, A HUGE THANKS FOR YOUR WORK!! Some 13 years ago I was really obsessed with the CMI, and prayed that someday this would come along. Although I had never expected anyone to recreate the whole system in software. I went as far as to convert the whole IIx library to 16 bit .wav, by manually ripping each one from the .bin files, -this was before I got the tools that dumped them automatically, haha.
Meanwhile I got my Fairlight sequencing fix from the Roland S-330 and its Director-S. Although that had some timing issues with busy patterns. In 2012 I bought an ipad mini to get the Fairlight app, and rarely have I been so disappointed in a program. I had it promptly refunded, and deleted. It is safe to say, for a CMI enthusiast, QuasarBeach is pure gold! Finally I have the original interface, Page-R, everything! And I love the stereo enhancement implemented, it really fattens stuff up and makes my output sound great. I get nice results from liberal use of the reverb type delay, but seeing as one can load samples with reverb I don't view it as essential.
On my music laptop the program is rock solid, timing and all. But it still sees only the onboard audio "Realtek Speakers Out". I would love to be able to use WASAPI, as that yields very low latency on other programs, that or ASIO. Is that something that could be done? Sometimes, the sounds are also given a "note-off" command it seems, and the sound cuts, even though I am holding it on the midi-keyboard. It seems to occur less on the dedicated music PC, but I just wanted to mention it.
Anyway, super grateful for this program, and your continous updating of it :)
I'll let Thomas Leer sum up the feeling I get from QuasarBeach :D
