Dreamstation is a synth meant for the advanced user.

Dreamstation is best described as a "team player" sort of synth. In tandem with effects or layered with other synths it can turn a 'good' sound into something "fantastic and unique."

Intermediate and beginners will NOT get this thing. They will say its boring, dry sound is a waste of sound Etc.

Dreamstation also has a longer than usual learning curve thanks to graphics that are dissimilar enough to make their use initially confusing.

Like most synths practice makes perfect. Eventually the confusing things become so easy you are manipulating sounds faster on Dreamstation than almost any other synth.

What it can do is limited.

It does NOT have onboard effects to pretty up the sounds.

What it does do though it does extremely well!

What you get out of Dreamstation depends on what you are willing to put into it.

For me it is the perfect layering synth. No matter how great a patch is, I've found by layering a couple of patches from Dreamstation into it makes it sound even better.

Its tone melts into the sounds of other synths and makes them sound better.

As time goes by its sound is becoming more and more unique.

Also as time goes by, fewer and fewer people know about this gem.

It's only a matter of time, before it becomes a 'secret' sort of synth used by a few producers to create sonics that no one can identify, but really love because its fresh and new sounding.

Use Dreamstation correctly and you'll be able to make your songs sound stand out in a very crowded environment, because nothing really sounds like Dreamstation.

Works for me on Windows 10 x64 using Synapse Audio Orion 8.6 (32-bit).

I'm remastering some old Fruity Loops projects & a few of them included the Dreamsynth DXI2 which I received with a boxed edition of Cakewalk Pro Audio. It worked just fine in FL3 back in the day but now I can't get any sound from it. Mind you, I'm now using the latest downloadable version & not the original from the cakewalk disc. The disc is now lost. The plugin installs okay & it's receiving input, at least according to the FL3 dashboard, but there's no audio. I heard that it does not work on a 64-bit platform so I tried it on Windows 7 32-bit. Still no audio. So I'm wondering... (A) If it doesn't like Windows 7 & needs an XP operating system? (B) If the later downloadable versions aren't FL3 compatible? Whether it needs registering? Or (D) If anyone knows how to get a hold of the original bundled Cakewalk release? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Especially if anyone can confirm that it works in either FL3 or on windows 7.

I've moved onto a new computer since last posting, and this got my curiosity. I reinstalled DS2 (W10 64-bit), and it still works for me (Orion 32-bit). You need a host that still supports 32-bit DXi instruments, which is close to nothing at this point. So at least its not the operating system preventing it from running (yet)...
