Feature:
It did not need any accessories.

Quality:
The program design is very poor indeed. It has major cpu use problems that the support team were not really interested in solving.

Value:
I would not buy it again as it has not been designed properly to work with Mac osx.

Desirability:
Its not that kind of product. I did not buy for sex appeal.

Sound:
The sounds are fantastic but has major cpu problems when used with Mac osx and very poor product support.

Ease of Use:
Major cpu program problems.

Support:
E-mail support for this is very poor indeed and can take days or longer for a reply. This is not a pro tool.

Overall:
After lengthy e-mail exchanges with the poor support,I dont use it any more.

Feature:
The addition of Attack and Release add a lot to the realism..or unrealism.....I would have liked to have some type of combine function..

Quality:
Amazing....Dont know how i survived without this software

Value:
Well worth the general price of $100

Desirability:
I mean its a soft synth....kinda looks like a mellotron...That selector button could be alot better...

Sound:
This sounds fantastic....you really listen to the Beatles in a differnt light figuring out that alot of the random things going on during : "I am the Walrus" and "Strawberry fields" comes from these bank sounds. The Bassoon+flute patch is worth the price alone....and of course the "Strawberry fields" flute that Fiona Apple seems to love also.

Support:
I wrote an email...did not hear back yet so I will leave this incomplete

Overall:
A must for anyone.....It has totally expanded my creative ideas..

Feature:
You won't find tons of features, but this is an exact replica of the real Mellotron. Anything more would be overkill. It does what is expected and that's all I want.

Quality:
The sounds are genuine. You can buy expansion packs for cheap from G-Media resellers. They actually hunted down custom Mellotrons from around the world to make the additional banks.

Value:
This plugin is so cheap I can hardly believe it. Yet it is stable, sounds great, and is everything I could ask for.

Desirability:
If you want the sounds of the Mellotron, this is the plugin to get! Forget samples CDs in other formats. They don't compare.

Sound:
Sounds are from a real Mellotron, not virtually recreated.

Support:
I emailed them once and they replied back in 24 hours.

Overall:
Overall this is an excellent plugin! I cannot understand the other review as he posted his concern on November 2004 yet he is running Windows 98 SE? No wonder he is having problems. I am running this on OS X 10.3.5 and have used it in Logic, Live, and Digitla Performer with no problems. I also have all the sound banks. This plugin is beyond awesome!

Sound:
I have been trying to load this product into my Win98SE computer with no luck for about a month now. My support programs cannot find the plug-ins and I've tried everything! I've been thru a bunch of SoftSynth forums and noone there can help either. Gmedia fails to respond to my e-mails, phone calls and FAX's. Don't chance this thing!!

Support:
Indeed the worst. I'll let you know if they actually begin to help me out.
