I just got it installed on the laptop. Have only tested it with existing midi files so it would not be fair to judge it from that but, I have it installed on a Samsung 850 ssd and it is slow to load when changing instruments.
I can also confirm that the C7 does not support half pedal unless the setting is buried somewhere I have yet to discover.
The install went well, no issues, but it does take a while to do a full install from the usb drives. Should probably block off at Least a couple of hours, from start to finish, to install & authorize. Also, the usb drives have a different kind of connector that swings out away from the drive that had me stumped at first. I kept wanting to pull it out vs. swing it out.
Can't say too much about the sounds yet but they are mostly different from my existing sounds so it could turn out really good depending on the material you try to use them on. I think they will really come into play for someone that is a heavy Spectrasonics user and uses them with other omni, trillian, and RMX stuff. It is going to take a Hell of a machine to run all that stuff though...
