"Nothing else quite compares to this softsynth!"
Sound
If you want out-of-the-box stunning, amazing, complex, phat, nifty synth sounds, buy this. It sounds to me like a lot of guys spent a lot of time putting these presets together. Twice already I've found an untouched preset to be just perfect for the peice I'm working on. Ranges from beautiful and pristine to downright huge, ominous, and gurngy!
Features
Loaded with more tweaks than I'll probably ever bother with!
Value
Great bang for the buck if you've got a good CPU to handle it.
Manufacturer Support

"A suitable synth for expert sound designers."
I would recommend this to anyone looking to create their own unique sounds.
Sound
The sound of this synth is incredible. If you know the basics of sound design, this synth will take you new places. You can emulate any type of instruments with enough effort. Try it in the 96Hhz mode with a good sound card.
Features
It could have had more options for filters on the delay effects. Also the sampler needs to have more options.
Quality
Does a fine job. Crashes rarely.
Value
Can do so many things with enough midi controllers.
Manufacturer Support
Never had to call.
The Wow Factor
Love It!

NI Absynth Software Customer Review
Good, better sounds than Project 5 but not as stable.
Sound
Very cool sounds for Gothic/Industrial music or soundtrack work
Features
So many options, easy to follow and setup.
Quality
I'm running a P4 2.3 with a gig ram. This is the only synth that seems to crash a little more than I find acceptable. I run it with Sonar 3 Producer DXi.
Value
A lot of synth for very little money
Manufacturer Support
Good
The Wow Factor
For soundtrack or Goth music very appealing.
