I have it and he said that it is a spectacular powerful eight-part synthesizer and very easy to use but, the negative thing is that the Parawave developer is very abandoned in terms of updates and plugin support, plus not having a dedication and contact with customers which makes him somewhat distrustful when investing in this plugin....

I have and like parawave. Happy with the update. Will have to check it out.  If purchasing double check because I thought it’s NFR only if this is important to you.

[Mark Percil 12]

Very tempting however I refuse to pay the 20% VAT on this when the rate where I live is only 6%.

[Yan Filiatrault 1,462]

It’s always a reason that held me back from buying. I should not be paying any VAT.

This is a synth I should get. Looks and sounds pretty pretty good.
