I agree, the instructions are sparse and the installation instructions are cryptic if you do not know what you’re doing. Yes it’s pretty intensive afaik. I have 16gbs of ram and 2,7ghz i7 and i’m experiencing the same fan blasting.
This is often the most frustrating about everything. I had a small euro system a couple of months back which I had to sell off because of $$$ so this software is a godsend.
It was a small 6U system containing mostly MakeNoise modules, some random utillity stuff bought from the modular synth trades europe facebook group, combined with an Arturia BeatStep Pro. It was a lot of fun but I started to realize I didn’t really have the money to get things in the direction I wanted. Think I spent almost $2000 in total before I sold it all.
But tbf it was a lot of fun, and had I had the money I’d without a doubt pursue this more.
It actually sounded pretty nice. I just had a simple circuit set up for testing purposes. I just used the Fundamental instruments and had an oscillator going to a Lowpass filter going to the audio module and a CV to pitch from the MIDI module to play it with my keyboard.
The only thing that worried me was my fan constantly going off. I had Task Manager open and it didn’t seem like the CPU was too high but the fan kept going at full speed.
Are you on mac or pc?
I had issues with getting them to show up, but after updating to the latest (0.3.2) version, and trying a different combination of closing the application, adding new plugins, running the program again, hitting refresh plugins after logging in etc. they finally showed up.
So idk, I don’t have a clear guide. Just trial and error.
