Version 7.1 was essentially a re-write of the MacOS code along with a number of improvements and fixes.

To try and summarise these, version 7 brought improved sound easier audio recording improved audio marking improved support for streaming files with different sample rates a step sequencer new modules including audio rate modulation, sample and hold, parameter randomisation (also works on VSTs), pitch bend enhanced racks user definable grids swing parameter improved piano roll. There have been a myriad of updates and improvements since the original review.

As you’d expect it will run more efficiently and with a lower CPU load with a higher spec machine but many modern synths and effects have complex architecture using a lot of maths and calculations and so require multi-core processors and their performance will be limited by your system rather than MuLab. A minimum resolution of 1024 x 768 and powerful multi-core are recommended but not necessary although it is an important point when considering how you will use MuLab. System requirements are not too demanding – Windows XP and above, MacOS 10.6.8 and above a decent soundcard / driver. The latest version is 7.2.23 and is available for Windows (32 & 64 bit) and Mac (64 bit). So a review for MuLab 7 which was released in May 2016 is somewhat overdue. It’s been nearly two years since I reviewed MuLab 6 which you can read about here.
