"Buyer beware"

Overall: 0.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
The soft synths that come with cheap sequencers like Mixcraft are just about as good sounding as this, and they don't jam your system.
Sound
The sound is ok if you have a superpowered computer. Quad core at least.
Features
Confusing and not much help.
Ease of Use
By the time you integrate this into your sequencer and figure it out oyur creativity will be gone.
Quality
This product does not install easy, and it does not run half the time. It freezes alot and messes with your sequencer.
Value
Not sure why I keep buying creative stuff, though I do like my 0404.
Manufacturer Support
Support treats you like an idiot.
The Wow Factor
If anyone can get this thing to work consistantly I'd love to see how.
