Impressive synth from a very creative and dedicated developer. I bought it at 1.11 and the new update to 1.20 shows Lennard's commitment and creativity. The little arp in it is a very welcome addition. I'm not too crazy about the look of the interface, but that's just personal taste and it doesn't really bother me, nor does it get in the way. Another person would probably think it looks great... so who really cares? It does what it is supposed to do. But what I love about this synth is the sound. I have dozens and dozens (and dozens) of plugins and this is one of my favorites right now, and I'm really satisfied with the money I spent on it. It's a decidedly analog sounding synth to me, at least that's how I use it, and it just seems to fit into my mixes well. I've found I keep going back to it and it is becoming a real little workhorse. Plus it's not heavy on CPU (say, compared to an insanely huge beast like NI MASSIVE) and it just feels well thought-out and usable. I hate to use the word "practical" but in a way it is... it is USABLE and it is NOT a one-trick pony. It's feels like a synth when I play it... not like a plugin. It can create some fantastic lows with crisp, resonating highs. For me, this is a total home run, and I'm hoping Lennard has a lot of success with it. This is an example of creative, excellent programming too. It seems stable and CPU friendly so far. I don't care at all that the interface has some SynthEdit libraries in it... I know there was initially some controversy over that and I'm satisfied Lennard will eventually get rid of those linkages. Plus, it doesn't matter at all since it's only in the interface. What matters is that the custom, original sound engine is outstanding, tight, efficient, and creates the sounds you want to hear. Also, Lennard is great about getting back to you and he is committed to providing good service. He also seems open to accepting suggestions for improvements... as long as they are intelligent suggestions. :) I don't know how good the manual is since I've never bothered to read it, since this synth is extremely straightforward to use and any synth user worth his salt won't need to read instructions on this. (So I'll give it a 10 on the manual just because it's so easy to use... but again, I actually don't know if the manual is any good since I never bothered or needed to look at it.) The presets are good, but this is NOT a preset-lover's synth... go elswhere for that. This is a REAL synth that is better suited for tweakers, players and sound designers over simple-minded patch-freaks. While the presets are good, they just don't cover everything this baby can do. Again, this is a home run for me. A new staple in my library that I find I am going back to frequently. Worth every penny spent. :)Read Review
