Feature:
The only thing I think this is missing is some nice piano...

Quality:
No quality problems as far as I can tell....

Value:
For all the incredible sounds you get, I think it is more than worth it!

Sound:
The best synths I have ever heard. Some cool stuff on there I'll probably never use, but at least it's there just in case. AMAZING!

Support:
Never had to contact support but I am sure they rock!

Overall:
It would overall deserve a 10, but I think it is a bit too heavy on the CPU. Besides that, this is an incredible product that pays for itself.

Value:
It's expensive, but worth it

Desirability:
You can't get these sounds anywhere else. I am going to get Atmosphere eventually. It's a question of when, not if.

Sound:
There's nothing else like it!! You cannot recreate these sounds with hardware. You can only find them on this program. The sounds are breathtaking, detailed, intricate, and utterly unique. You can use them for pretty much anything. I imagine that dance music is most likely what you will be using the sounds for.

Overall:
Unbelievable sounds. That's all I have to say. These are by far quite possibly the best pad sounds out there!

Feature:
If you wanna pay for silence, go buy

Quality:
Won't install on numerous computers. They sent a DVD to install. Won't install. No instruction how to install it...

Value:
Money for nothing.

Desirability:
This puts me off software for good.

Sound:
Spent days trying to install this product on a Windows system with no joy. Firstly, it crashes often when trying to install. This is due to a severe bug with the joiner program that occurs when trying to load the sound bank. When eventually I managed to install after consulting tech support, the module was still silent and unable to load sounds. Buggy, buggy, buggy.

Support:
They have responded, but there solutions are ineffective.

Overall:
Unbelievable. Sometimes hardware modules can be unreliable, and have certain probs, but there are always work arounds, and they have there strong points. If you can't install a soft synth, then its a complete lost cause.
