I’m having the same issue with it only coming through the left channel of my speakers/headphones. Strangely enough when effects like phasing or reverb are applied to it, the effects (but not the sound itself) will play through both channels. I really loved seeing this plug in used and I hope they fix this.

BTW: I’m running on an intel Mac with Leopard and Ableton 7.

I’m getting the multiple instance freakout also. The best workaround, I’d say, is to bounce/export the MIDI track as audio and use that .WAV/.AIFF as a sample in an audio track.

It’s a pain, but at least we finally have a chiptune AU on OS X.

are there any updates on the bugs? i would like to be able to use this, but since it only works in the left speaker, can’t produce multiple tracks, and often completely crashes into a frenzy of ear-deafening noises, it seems kind of worthless at this point.

only left channel in ableton for me too, and also the non co-operation in logic 8 either?! what a bummer, hopefully they’ll get this sorted out somehow.

great plugin either way!

anyone know if the plugin’s sound is restricted to non-profit personal use?

I have used the plugin’s sound for some of my own music and wish to sell the music. I wanted to know if I cant do that, or require obtaining rights from them to use it.
