Dark Star,
You have to look pretty far to find it, and although in one sense, I have certainly run across prg's that have quite high requirements, they usually don't come form the same set of developers, moreover, in the few other situations like this I have run across this, there is a HUGE "red flag" as it were on the main product page, warning potential buyers to make sure their systems are up to snuff. As far as i know in the vst world, most plugins are at a fairly generic standard. Waves. because some of their stuff is so old, has older products that have to be upgraded, because the don't work on Win 10, but all of their latest versions of stuff are across the board equivalent.....
I found this when I went to install modo drums only to get an error msg that my CPU doesn't support "AVn, avX" or some such name commands, and therefore it cancels the installation....
Btw, Modo bass doesn't have this same problem, so i think somebody got lazy or greedy with the coding for modo drums.......
My suspicion is that whatever instructions cqapability they lack are newer multimedia thread handling, likely for games, which leads me to believe that modo drums would run Perfectly on my pc's EXCEPT they wanted them to look ULTRA slick.....
My main PC's in my little project studio, run on homebuilt rigs with decent stuff. High falutin ASUS motherboards that are an overclocker's delight, ddr3 1600 ram, Geforce GTX960 video cards, and decent Sata drives. My Cpu's are both Xeon 6 core processors roughly equivalent to i7 950-970 intel cpus, except they have 6 instead of 4 cores, and support 12 core hyperthreading. They were developed for servers not for enthusiasts but crunch the numbers nicely. I don't run huge cpu load mixes for the most part, but they run great. Btw, they are both overclocked, running at @ 4ghz in both of them. rock stable until some very ocassional win10 update comes along and throws my stuff off, and I have to reset my bios and maybe find some newer drivers for my video cards to deal with it....
My suspicion is that whatever instructions they lack are newer multimedia thread handling, likely for games, which leads me to believe that modo drums would run Perfectly on my pc's EXCEPT they wanted them to look ULTRA slick.....
By the way, there is a webpage link, hidden away on the modo drum page on the ik site, but no one would ever look for it until they got into the situation that I am in.....
