Feature:
it's insane. no other FM synth can hold a candle to it. 8 operators routable in any imaginable way? come on!

Quality:
totally stable. never crashes. very low CPU! i can run about 10 of these at once on my G4 powerbook 1.5 ghz

Value:
for what you can do it's actually a very good value.

Desirability:
awesome possibilities with this thing. it's been around for awhile, but that means it is rock solid!

Sound:
you can get some seriously wicked sounds out of this if you know how to program in FM. definitely a "digital" sounding synth though.

Ease of Use:
well, it's like alien technology at first. seems really complex. but you get into it and realize it's actually pretty easy.

Support:
never needed it.

Overall:
NI's most practical and efficient, yet feature-rich soft synth

I was very impressed at the sound sculpting capabilities of this synth. You could go VERY deep with this one.

Quality:
The best FM synth there is.

Value:
This will the only FM synth I will ever need.

Desirability:
Got one

Sound:
VERY good. If you want a great FM sound, look no further.

Ease of Use:
There are sections for simple edits to sounds which I find intuitive. You can get as complex as you are willing to get.

Support:
Just visit Native Instruments for a demo, update, forums, or what have you.

Overall:
Great for many uses. I think this is better than Absynth.
