Installation very simple, no incompatibilities with SX2, easy configuration (presets well seen) ... No problem to take the pleasant sound of these lines of code.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
The plug-in is a bit heavy CPU load compared to others, but it's still in the average for a tool made with SynthEdit (I think ...) Anyway, this is not the kind virtual instrument that instantiates several times in a project. Mr Ray is stable, but it poses a small problem with the "freeze" and export. In fact, every time it is loaded, it displays a small window recalling its nature "donationware", even during the "freeze" or export audio. So, time to press "OK", he misses the start of the project, if any shifts or does not work (with the export real time). So: we must remember to leave about ten seconds of slack at the beginning of the project.
Of course, by paying, the window disappears. But I think the problem is not wanted, it's a bug that is sure to be corrected one day or another.
Edit: This problem was solved! Bravo.
OVERALL OPINION
You will have noticed, this is not a real instrument. Therefore I shall not attempt to compare it to a real organ. As a VSTi, it is perfectly capable of playing its creative role, with lots of subtle I think. And it's rare enough to make this small tool a must, in the sense that it sounds really effortless: it runs in many projects and always with honor. For that, and to encourage such excellent initiatives, I put 10!
