(Roland SH-101 Emulation)
This is no toy. LuSH-101 was made by qualified engineers for professional musicians. Of course, you don’t need to be a “professional” to use it, but the CPU hit is no laughing matter, so I definitely recommend it for use on a capable system with a dual-socket motherboard or perhaps an external audio processor. I can just imagine what this thing would sound like when firing on all cylinders. Unfortunately, this budget PC user doesn’t have that luxury, so I must use it sparingly. That being said, pleasant results are achievable within just one of its eight layers. It’s similar to owning a Ferrari. You’re not going to drive to work at two-hundred-twenty miles per hour. It’s just nice to know that you could… if you had to.
