Lots of features and with a well organized GUI
Published on 03/03/12 at 00:45The synth itself is loaded with all sorts of options. First off you get a 4 Oscillators in which you can apply a bunch of different wave presets (standard square, saw..etc to random sillyness like Wet Eel and Fizzle Gedizzle...seriously) as well as the ability to fully customize each to create your own with the built in editor. You also get a very sophisticated arpeggiator and sequencer, a modulation matrix, a standard set of effects, and a ton of presets to get you started. What I really like and actually dislike about this synthesis is it's insane amount of options. What I mean is I don't use this as my "get a quick think, fuzzy lead in there" or something else needed quickly and efficiently. This is one of those synths that it can take a long time to create patches with. There are just so many options that it can feel a little daunting at times. I am sure the more I use it the better my workflow will become, but as it stands, I only take it out when I have the time to dedicate. I will say that, with all the options, you can really create some massive sounding movements filled with swirly pads, percussion lines, and arpeggiations from the most outlandish wave forms straight from your brain, which can be extremely pleasing, but get ready to spend some time on it.
I do enjoy the time I spend with this synth and the sound quality is great, again, on par with Synthmaster and Sylenth. I paid $199 which is average for a current soft synth and so far I am into it. I would recommend it to any who likes an expansive view on synthesis and likes to deviate from the traditional analoge style subtractive synthesis only.

A Best

-Of Huge sound possibilities, a very thorough synthesis, a great modularity.
One must now it can do almost everything (except the import of sample) and go in all registers.
A minimum knowledge to be able to appreciate this plug ... But it is one of the best synth in the top 10! Rather than a long speech there is a lot of tutorials on Youtube. Here's a link among many others ...

Pretty good, but ...
Published on 05/15/13 at 13:27 (This content has been automatically translated from French)The GUI is a sadness! Almost as depressing as that of Largo ... say it!

In general, the sounds are of good quality and relatively original. The number of settings is quite impressive, but I know there is not too much synth, I'm a little confused.

OVERALL OPINION
All is good (I'm talking about sounds, because the interface, but no more, for the reasons mentioned above. Maybe that spending a little time to tweak the original sounds I would get some something more convincing, but ...
