i love music keyboard sounds! and it is on steam.

I love this synth. Works within sony acid as a VST plug-in except when i try to edit arp sequences. Capable of producing a wide spectrum of rich sounds. High degree of articulation with modulations and waveshaping. Huge library of arp sequences. Effects include many advanced options. UI keeps me coming back. Get the preset packages to fully appreciate its capability.

Really great synth; I don't regret spending money on it!

Great synth for the price.

This is the best plugin synth that I own. It's not a toy or a cut down version for casual people who want to "make a cool track". This is a hardcore, complex, fantastic-sounding synth with 6 oscillators and fantastic waveshaping capabilities. You can modulate 16 different waveshaping features in addition to pulse width modulation and other things and there is Frequency and Phase Modulation. It's not perfect though. I would have liked a way to edit the arpeggios inside the plugin rather than by loading midi files, but it is overall the best synth I own. Add to that the fact that it is 75% off in Steam sales a couple of times a year and you have something which represents stunning value. UPDATE: Now removed from Steam because Gibson, who bought Cakewalk, killed it off.

I'm a noob so it took me a while to figure out how to get this thing to work! At first I started it on its own and couldn't figure out how to hear the sounds and spent about 30 minutes troubleshooting. Then I learned how to launch it from Music Creator and then finally heard the sounds! It really is a powerful synthesizer and I'm looking forward to all of the funky sounds I can create with it.
