Installing
1) Unzip the files and run setup.exe  The installer is german, but dont worry,
   the program AND default help files are in english. (german also included)
2) Enter ANY name and company, now pick an install directory. Rest is simple.

note : Don't forget in the original zip are the dirs 'library' (sample files)
'xtra_doc' (german help files and extended english docs) and drivers. You can
copy these over to your generator dir and use them.. have fun!

Quickstart tip :
* Generator NEEDS midi input. Go 'options > MIDI' and select a midi input and
  press 'insert'

Drugstah, youve done it again!  Super thanks to DJ-sonic. Thanks also to

Opinions from |_AVA|AMP

Pros : I've heard demos of the nord modular and many analogues...well...this
come at least (!) close to a damn expensive one..maybe the pitch isn't that 
fat like the virus does it but i can't say because i have to listen over my
headphones not to wake up everyone at 6:34 am ! :)  It's the first real 
software synth...forget reality...and it's much faster. I have this one patch
(fat overdrive) set to 33075 Hz with 6 Voices. and it sounds perfect...above
that it distorts like hell but i think for a p100 it's ok :)   My gf won't 
be happy tomorrow...i think i have to spend one day at home hehe :)

Cons : My p100 surely ain't enough but this proggy is really a good reason
to buy a faster processor for me. It runs well but i have to switch down 
alot when i turn some knobs.

Summary : In KEYBOARDS (german magazine) the author gave it a rating of 85%
because of it's weak docs to the program, and an audio quality rating of 
100% ... I'm  the same opinion. I think synths like the nord modular won't
find many customers in the near future.  It works great...but you should have
at least a 166 ... The sun's shining out of my ass ! :)
