  1. I want to buy this.. I love the way it sounds, I’m using reason… Kind a bummer, but if there is an RE rack extension port I want it. Great very smooth sound on this plug in!

    1. When it’s offered as an opt-in vs. something you have to put up with, it’s a feature. But yea, I get your “drift”.

    1. SECOND THIS!

      I would buy an iPad version without second thought. Strongly considering the PC version right now. What an awesome synth 🙂

  2. Just bought this for the pitch shifter delay, sounds amazing. It’s certainly got its own sound that seems darker and softer, but very organic and alive.

    Much recommend, very happiness!

  3. Have had this for about 5 years. It has a heavy Boards of Canada influence, especially in the pre-programmed chord structures. I demoed the new one and it is of slightly higher quality than the original.
