Ok. Let’s get down to the facts. This is not your normal subtractive VA. This is not FM. It is not like 500 other VSTi’s around. But is this a positive or negative? Good products get copied until there are hundreds of copycats. 100’s of different products fail and are quickly forgotten. So do you need something like EMM Knagalis? If you don’t have a subtractive VA, you need that instead. If you don’t have FM, you need that instead. If you don’t have a drum machine or sampler, you need those more. But, if you have the basic covered then go for something different. Does anyone really need 10 different VA’s?

Knagalis brings a bit of variety and flavor to my VSTi lineup. Sometimes this is just what is needed to give a bit of inspiration. It is not something that I would grab for most songs, but it is something that I can play around with and come up with an idea that may not have happened with a standard VA. For this reason it is a nice addition to a mature lineup.

Pro’s:
Good sound.
Easy interface.
Different.
Great support.

Con’s:
May not be as useful as many other VSTi’s that you probably already own.

Let me be clear that although I was a beta tester for this instrument, my opinions are not influenced by that honor.

This little wonder is clearly superb in not only it's preset sounds, but in it's ability to be tweaked almost endlessly. From Sitars to Shenai's to other strings and flutes and will more ethnic scales than anyone could ever use!

As a beta tester, I get to somewhat suffer the birthing pains along with the Dashsignature developers, but anyone can follow along by reading on the kvr forum and see the process for themself. I mention this because in that forum, you will see attention to detail and sound quality addressed again and again. These issues are handled and improved by the Dash team in a very rapid and excellent manner and the results show up for the end user in the fantastically superb quality of the instruments. EMM is no exception. In fact just today there is a minor update to make it work more smoothly in an FX wrapper that was only updated itself a few days ago!

If you care for ethnic sounds, Bagpipes, various odd strings, flutes, etc. this VSTi is a "MUST" have item.

I will suggest a buying tip to users also... check out the package deals for the sets of VSTi's from Dashsignature.... wow, what generous and great offers!!
