ForumsSoftware ← Aalto CM & Beyond...

Hi !

Sorry if this has already been asked (I didn't find a "search" button in the forums).
I've got Aalto CM (computer music mag). I've tried it on a retina iMac 21"4 and found that while you can resize the window (GREAT feature, overall GUI is great !), it's quite blurry. Is CM edition retina optimized ?
Also, can I try the Aalto demo and not "loose" the CM (in case, I'm not ready to buy the full version yet) ?
Thank you.

Hi, I'll try to answer your questions about Aalto CM. It should work well but is lagging behind the main Aalto release in several important features. I believe it's at par with version 1.5. For a list of new Aalto features since then you can look at the README for Aalto: http://madronalabs.com/media/aalto/_read_me_first.txt

If you install a newer version of Aalto it will install over the CM component. You can save the CM component by copying it from /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components to a safe place.

CM edition is not Retina ready. The release version is better but you may still see some blurry displays. This is because drawing all the animating dials simply takes too long on a Retina display. In the future, I will use OpenGL to accelerate the drawing.

I am planning to add a search button here. Meanwhile you can use Google to search for things on this site. Type in Google's search bar "site:madronalabs.com Aalto CM" (for example).
