why isnt this posted????
i had it working but i had some difficulty with it..
this should be posted under DAW apps...
we need this posted!
i can upload a package to post.. with install instructions

i think this will take up awhole mac by itself tho..
meaning u would wanna run it on 2nd mac.. and network it via midi + audio back to your daw
for a real successfull set up
but this thing is pretty legit!! sounds great!
can it be run as vst? i forget

i can understand how its been neglected with kontakt around but this thing pre-dates kontakt im prett y sure this was probably OUT Already while NI was developing kontakt!

OK.

BitHeadz and Koblo were pioneer with alot of its apps -If I remember well- but both were fast outperformed with the "explosion" of superior VST stuff -in my opinion-
I've used some of those... but for a very short time.

its not always about whats the best:) different tools yield different results:D

System Requirements    
     We reviewed the Mac version 2.0.1 of Unity, but the PC version should be out now. Bitheadz' minimum system requirements are as follows. (We used a 450MHz G4 with 128Mb RAM.)

• Mac: 200MHz 604 Power Mac with MacOS 8.1 or higher, 300Mb HD space, at least 64Mb RAM.
• PC: 200MHz Pentium II with Windows 95 or 98, compatible sound card, 300Mb HD space, at least 64Mb RAM.

i have a friend who still speaks very highly of this sampler
and infact he rates it above almost anything else there is for mac os 9
his only interest in mac os 9 is running this sampler

I'm really sorry for the constant asking, but does anyone still have this with it's original factory sounds? Would be a major win for the community I'm in...
