I really like this VSTI and waited a long time for a VSTI with sequencing capablities like Energy. In a way the sequencer reminds me of a Korg MS2000 in that you can sequence parameters other than note on/off. I wish that more parameters were added though such as cutoff, resonance, pan, etc. I also wish that the synth engine was more complex with switchable waveforms, mutli oscillators, routing options, etc. Still this is a very useful synth for acid lines and trippy arpeggios. If the synth engine and sequencer idea was taken further for more complex modulation and thicker tones it would probably be my favorite softsynth ever. Maybe an Energy II?

Aw... Come on, this thing is great! From sharp crunchy-clicky screaming 303-esque hop-bounce patterns to smooth slidey-movey wiggling warbles with full support for host automation and its FREE FGS!

One trick pony but its a neat trick! Snatched the PRO version and enjoyed every minute. Makes me grin.

Warm up the modem, I feel a download coming on...

Just OK.

Not a sequencer, but rather an arpeggiator.

Synth engine is pretty poor.

Again, GUI is just too damn big for what it offers. Good color scheme.

I've experienced some crashing.
