Audio Simulation DreamStation DXi2

dreamstation is yet another VA synth. It is simple to operate and comes standard with sonar. I'm not going to go into the sound of this thing and all that crap because in the end it is all a taste thing, suffice to say that it has its own sound and it is clean. The UI can get a little fiddly and a return to 0 function on the knobs would be handy. It is rock solid in regards to its stability and has a great manual which pops up the first time you open it. I wasn't too sure about this synth at the start but it has gradually been creeping more and more into my work. It has a lot of really interesting and contemporary sounds that are hard to get on a lot of other synths. The filters are GREAT and so are the envelopes. Dreamstation doesn't try to be anything that it is not. Once you accept it for what it is, it will respond by being a great little synth to cherish and enjoy. :) Highly recommended.
