That points towards a false positive as windows defender doesn't flag it. I'll leave it an hour and then install - I mean what can possibly go wrong !!!! I didn't realise they are in the UK. Thanks for emailing them. As you say they are probably at their local hostelry by now ? Thanks for the research on that "virus". I have installed them already so I am stuck with the consequences ? Although I do have backups. Edited December 6, 2019 by ZincT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Kaspersky scan is 35% complete and hasn't found anything yet (it says about 1 hour left but I suspect that could be very approximate!). I might download an alternative AV product on my laptop and see what it finds although if it's any of the ones used by VirusTotal then I suspect it will be a negative (apart from Clam-AV ). Oh btw the reviews I found for Clam-AV weren't exactly glowing! I looked up ADWCleaner which I recall using previously for adware detection but that seems to be part of Malwarebytes now. ?

I've been using Webroot SecureAnywhere for years (very small footprint) and very effective. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClamAV is the big open source one - and I'm willing to bet (guess) that google is using it. Always better to have a false positive then a false negative though. I'm gonna install anyway as soon as I've finished messing with some vocals - if your scan finishes first then I'd really appreciate it if you post if it's positive again, apologies if I'm panicking anyone but better safe than sorry ........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZincT Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) Scan now says 40% complete and 2hrs left! 3 hard drives and 3 SSDs to get through will take a bit of time. Good luck! Edited December 6, 2019 by ZincT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) 61% - 2 hrs left! No threats so far. ? Edited December 6, 2019 by ZincT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 I did a windows defender scan after installing and it didn't find anything ? 99% certain it's a false positive - YMMV -------- back on topic, initial thoughts are: the synth sounds very good but negatives on the MiniMonsta is the awful preset system and neither MiniMonsta and Oddity2 have resizable GUI and they are pretty small. Probably unusable on 4k ? Standalone mode is a bit clunky regarding setup Definitely demo before buying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vernon Barnes Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) I am quite liking the Oddity. It's quirky yet intuitive, the XLFO and XADSR provide some interesting modulation options. While completely un-authentic the poly mode is a nice addition. The authentic duo mode requires a technique adjustment when playing, just like the hardware. Make sure you download the extra presets that appear in the Extras - Instrument patches tab in your account. There are also versions of the factory presets in VSTPreset format for use in Cubase.

ZincT Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Thanks for the tips Vernon. Do you know how this compares to the Korg ARP Odyssey PC plugin? The only other version I have is the Korg IOS one which I really like but would like a PC based one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks more "authentic" as you have not got the extra features or patch morphing, for you to decide if that a plus or minus. It appears to have an arpeggiator which the GForce does not have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Vernon. The Korg one is on sale at present but still twice the price of this one and no demo version. So I think I will go with the GForce one.
