Quanta 2 / Tomofone / Portal

[PancakesBear]

Portal and Quanta 2 are on sale right now for 50% off... and I've already pretty much decided to get Portal. However, Tomofone is not on sale and so I'm wondering for people's opinions on it since I was so impressed I may buy it for full price. Also... not sure if Quanta 2 is all that relevant anymore if I have both Tomofone and Portal.

Any thoughts?

Interested in Portal as well. A few years ago I read it is quite a cpu hog. Did they improve the performance with any updates since than? Is this still an issue today? I'm running Logic in a 6 core Intel i7 Mac Mini with 64 gigs of ram. I generally don't have any issues running large projects with tons of plugs, but just wanted to see if there's real issues with it.

Thanks

Quite different beasts the three. Portal is a granular FX, Tomofon uses wavetables, Quanta 2 is a granular synth. I don't quite see how these would cancel each other out. Personally of the three I would pick Quanta, but your needs may be different.
