I am in awe of the programmers who create these heavy lifting synths. It is so rare to find one with good sound quality, and equally rare to find one with intuitive, efficient and granular controls. In my mind, Vital is the first all-encompassing hybrid synth which is usable without a steep learning curve. In minutes a new user will be using LFOs to modulate other controls in the waveforms and samples. Creates large and evolving sounds that just aren't possible with most synths. Little else to say: Sounds great, easy to learn, fun to use, beautiful to look at.

Pretty much everyone knows this is one of the most efficient heavy lifters. Lots of sound with minimal tweaking, hundreds of thousands of presets around. The real deal that some must not get is the QUALITY of the sound. Very few synths have achieved as high of a quality of sound, perceptually or even on a scope. Don't know how they did it but me and a gazillion others have used it in production environments for decades with great results. What makes it shine is the sound quality, ease of tweaking, arpeggiation and unison features. The only deficit is that it is ugly, and I wouldn't want it any other way. The few that have come close for sound quality are some of U-he's synths and Vital. Yes, there are new and interesting avenues worth pursuing (like additive synthesis, sample based, and hybrid synths), but this is hands down the best subtractive synth I've used.
