"AMAZING! SIMPLY AMAZING!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
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.
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!
Features
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!
Manufacturer Support
Never had to contact support but I am sure they rock!

"These sounds are heaven on earth"

Unbelievable sounds. That's all I have to say. These are by far quite possibly the best pad sounds out there!
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.
Value
It's expensive, but worth it
The Wow Factor
You can't get these sounds anywhere else. I am going to get Atmosphere eventually. It's a question of when, not if.

"Can't trust this product to install."

Overall: 0.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
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.
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.
Features
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.
Manufacturer Support
They have responded, but there solutions are ineffective.
The Wow Factor
This puts me off software for good.
