Nicolà Vicentino's groundbreaking work opened the door to new ways of creating music.

Great article. One thing worth mentioning is that the workflow changes a bit depending on your DAW. Works perfectly in Ableton but had some issues in Logic.

Yeah Logic Pro users always get the short end. At least the AU version works now.

I actually tested this in my studio last week. The results were surprising, way better than I expected for the price point. Anyone else tried it?

Yes! I had the same experience. What genre are you working in? I found it works best for ambient and electronic stuff.

Mostly techno and industrial. The modulation options are insane once you dig into it.
