Ease of Use
:
9
Easy to use. Nice presets, same sound engine as in k-station. There are tons of good patches on the web. You can load it with K, KS, V station and Xiosynth patches.
Features

Polyphony is 8, good for a VA synth. It is monotimbral. Built-in effcts are nice and you can run audio thruogh them. I love keyboard action, it's much better then Nord Lead2 and Korg z1. It is also a good controller, has presets and templates to control a bunch of popular software. Comes with software librarian/template editor that is very handy and easy to use. It also has built-in usb audio interface with phantom power.

This is virtual analog, works great for electonic music.
Good effects, easily tweaked.
Reacts to velocity and aftertouch very well and can be adjusted.

I replaced nord lead2 with x-station, much cheaper, has effects and much better keyboard action, it's excellent way to control softsynths.
