Quality:
I would rate this higher however I am having a slight issue with the GM module and the midi assign channel and I'm not able to use it as stand alone (not that I need to)

Value:
I would say for the price this is a value. I have thousands of dollars rapped up in hardware synths so a virtual package with four modules for under $100.00 is a nice deal.

Sound:
Sounds pretty good. I like teh MB-3 most of all. Nice set of presets. The GM sounds I've sampled so far are a little cheezy but hey - I could have spent a lot more $ so I'm not complaining.

Ease of Use:
Imploy it. Assign a midi channel and away you go. Pretty simple I suppose.

Support:
ZZounds is a "10" however M-Audio I've never called. I did use support over teh internet and it was good.

Overall:
i planto use this software in my studio for many - many years. I also plan to add additional virtual samplers and instruments to my set up as well.

Feature:
I am happy so far hooked up to a basic GM keyboard,cant wait to try the other features with a more elaborate controller.

Quality:
No problems

Value:
Great value. If you dont yet have these sounds or the keyboards to make them this is probably the best value out there.

Desirability:
I have been wanting to try a software synth.

Sound:
I was impressed with the demo and ordered the software. I am using the echo IO laptop soundcard in an amd 1.2ghz WITH 480 RAM is 512 using video memory and midisport 2X2.I would definitely recommend using this with an apple if you can swing it,but then if you are buying this software you are already budget minded. I say this because apple will give low latency without a sound card. I get a few small artifacts in the sound if I dont trim my OS down,cancel running desktop memory hogs.You would have these issues with any software synth. Wanna give it a try?,cant find a cheaper way.I am happy with it.

Support:
Customer service via email answered all my questions,very helpful.

Overall:
I might go with a sample synth in the future,one thing this doesnt do.I am a basic lets get to the point kind of guy,fancy frills I'll never use don't appeal to me. This gets the job done and does it well. I will need a dedicated keyboard controller,something more than a midi keyboard to make me completely happy.Having said that I still like it enough to play it with the Yamaha keyboard live,just velcro that laptop!

Feature:
Horrible documentation compared to legitamate software instruments

Quality:
Wrong code sent? missing documentation perhaps, Quality non-exsistant

Value:
Worthless at any price if it doesn't work, when M-Audio doesn't care to help their customers.

Desirability:
spend a few bucks more and buy a good software syth

Sound:
Failed installation in AU un digital performer, certification code failed

Support:
Sent in an email with a well described sequence of events and the resultant software error and got a blowoff email response with a telephone number that no one answers?
