A question about EigenD compatibility with Windows 10. I'm thinking about upgrading to 10 on my major desktop machine, but before I do, I updated a less-used laptop, on which I would occasionally run EigenD. After utilizing the automatic upgrade process, the update did automatically transfer EigenD 2.074 to the new OS. The base EigenD program, Eigenbrowser, Stage, and Workbench all load properly, and seem to run properly. However, EigenD does not shut down properly. I.e., the sub-programs close, and the menu bar disappears from the main EigenD window, but the rest of that window does not vanish, and if you subsequently click on the EigenD desktop icon, you get an error message saying that an instance of EigenD is already running and must be closed....

some software news :)  Bitwig - today has just release 1.3.2 RC-1 which now allows you to 'force MPE' mode, this means finally Aalto/Kaivo and other synths can be used with per note expression in Bitwig.   (doesnt help u-he yet, as its not using CC74)  UVI Falcon - Ive been trying to avoid buying more soft synths, but this one is a great piece of software, a little tricky to get your head around initially but once you do 'wow'... and has a very powerful scripting interface, so Ive been able to implement MPE within it. (some minor limitations, but these will vanish in the next minor update ... its looking like it be 'the' work-horse synth for MPE :) )  no demo available yet... but perhaps keep an eye on it at uvi.net .
