All I can say is WOW!

I got a chance to compile it and test it out a little tonight and am very impressed.

I haven't gotten to playing with all of the controls yet, but from the sound of the various patches this thing is great.

It reminds me a lot of the Alesis Andromeda, which is saying a lot when talking about a softsynth. I am especially impressed with the LFOs and the ADSR variations, things I really like about the Andromeda.

I hope that you have the time to clean it up some more when you can, because this thing is great!

Thanks, Tracey.
