1. First the problems: I began using this product under Windows XP home edition and found several bugs. The metronome and tuner would not work, and the menus had extraneous symbols. None of these were a killer, but a bit annoying. Then I switched to my old computer running Windows 98, and everything worked fine.
   For the program itself, it's great! There is video of the instructor (sometimes with a split view to show both hands), songs to play along with, an animated fretboard, audio clips with more suggestions or reminders, a guitar chord dictionary, and the aforementioned tuner and metronome. Portions of the music can be selected to repeat, to aid practice. The songs include the voice and guitar parts. A very good program for a beginner bassist.



2. I'm in my 40's and was able to pick up my father's 30 year old electric bass and learn how to play very quickly. I've been using the program about 3 months and try to play 1/2 to 1 hour every day. Besides learning the songs included in the program I have been able to play Cream songs Badge and Sunshine of Your Love by teaching myself.
   
   As for the details:
   1. There is no problem with XP. I have a desktop and a laptop and both run the program without any problems
   2. Tuner works great and is very very helpful
   3. The program records your playing whenever you want. It is easy to use
   4. When playing songs you can turn off the bass line in the song, leave the bass line in, or just play the bass line without the music
   5. Moving between lessons is painless and very easy
   
   I can't say enough about this software. It's great and I am only on lesson 43.
   
   You won't be disappointed with the software. It's a good investment and you will be very happy with the results



3. I think this is a great product for beginners, but I do feel that he moves a little too fast after awhile. I do recommend it for beginners, although I wish someone would come out with something that would interact with you a little more, "game-like".

1. Do not buy this or any Cosmi or Starshine software. It installs Spyware on your computer and it will take an expert to get rid of it. Don't make the same mistake I did!

2 comments about M-Audio Gforce Minimonsta Minimoog Modeled Synth.

1. The Minimonsta is one of several softsynth emulations of the venerated minimoog on the market these days. Which one is the most realistic? Do any sound just like the classic model D? Does it really matter? The monsta sounds moogish enough, and comes with enough classic moog patches, amongst a couple thousand, to satisfy most retro analog enthusiasts.
   
   What really sets this apart from other softsynths is its performance capabilities, especially the inclusion of the Melohman Octave, by Ohm Force. This sly program allows ready morphing from one sound to another during performance, producing outstanding planned and spontaneous textures. This is really a significant advancement.
   
   Many reviewers comments that with the added polyphony that minimonsta is as much a memorymoog as minimoog emulation. Depending on how much processor grunt you have available. There are other additional features to dig into as well. All in all, a pretty fun piece of software. Check out the deal on this along with Oddity, impOSCar and M-Tron all bundled together in the Retro Pack.



2. This is simply the best sounding soft-synth I have ever heard. It's analog-style warmth is breathtaking. If you are looking for a Moog - this is it. Leave all the arguments about "aunthenticity" to people who would rather argue than play. This sucker will rock your floorboards out, or split your eardrums in half with a high-pitched wail. Either way, ya just can't beat it. Truly amazing!
