Back to Product Information
Sound: Arturia claims that some pros use this to generate some of their sounds. I'm no pro, but for home use and composing electronic music this package sounds very rich and rewarding. The loop-based synths are both easy to generate repeated sequences, but it is more difficult to emulate longer passages. In other words, this works out fine for traditional rock and especially Dance/Trance/Techno, maybe even hip-hop. You still need to be a musician to play good long passages via a Midi controlling keyboard (or other instrument sources), then use these passages in the samplers for other kinds of music (classical, jazz, longer solos, etc). For ease of learning, I give this a big fat ten, though. You will be making Superb tunes using the handy wizards in about 10 minutes! Moving towards more creative veins will take due time and talent, however. Hours of fun. The most distracting toy for the computer I have ever bought. Love it. Now I want to build a VST studio, also. Quality: There are a few bugs. This will likely change with version 3.0 this spring. (all upgrading is free) Value: have you priced the other packages? At $75US, Storm is a bargain. A pro VST studio can involve $3000+ in software alone. Manufacturer Support: quick response Overall: Need more synths. Rewire allows you to multiply Storm in sync (ie basic setup is 4 instruments + 3 effects machines, but you can added a couple more Storms simultaneously on 1 machine, plus record the master into a sample and multiply the tracks/voices infinitely). This is not as flexible as major pro sequencers such as Cubase ($$$$$$). Other have had problems using Storm as VST module, this will change with version 3.0, I imagine.

Back to Product Information
Sound: After having spent two days installing the softwear on my computer (which is well within the manufactures specs) I have to admit, the sound quality was good. But it doesn't take much to produce good sound on a computer. Feature: If there is a way to import WAV files into the product, I have not found it. Quality: The best quality of this product is the box it came in. Value: If it were free, I may give it a higher rating. Manufacturer Support: I have tried four different times to email the company for tech support. It has been over a week, and I have not recieved a response. I have sent them every phone number, mailing address, and email address I have... nothing. The first guy that wrote a good review of this product either works for the company, or lives in France, which is where the product is made. The Wow Factor: I don't want it... I want to get rid of it. Expensive lesson to learn.
