If you are looking for some of the most hauntingly beautiful, ethereal pads as well as evolving, resonant, rhythmic soundscapes, look no further than this truly amazing virtual instrument.

I have spent a very long time looking for THE instrument that could create some of the most stunningly beautiful pads that I have ever heard and have finally found it.

If you write Ambient, New Age, Down-Tempo, Chillout type music and are looking for some of the most spectacular pads you have ever heard, do yourself a favor and preview the demo of this instrument.

The only thing more amazing than the sounds of this instrument is the price tag.

I give this virtual instrument the highest possible recommendation. Download the demo and go through the presets. I think you will be so impressed that you will end up buying the full version.

Interface: Extremely well laid out with every control on the main page. There is no navigating to sub-menus; It is all there right before you.

Sound Quality: Stunning, Haunting, Beautiful, Ethereal, Other-Worldly are some of the words that come to mind. As I mentioned previously - I have been spending quite some time previewing various soft-synths for my specific requirement (Pads, evolving pads, resonance-sweep pads), and this was the one that I ended up buying.
