And it can also damage your eyes… damn… what an ugly design!
I played a bit with this critter and quite frankly I don't think its much special at all. In fact; right now I'm close to wondering if the displayed warning isn't merely part of a "hype" they try to create around it. I mean; blowing up your gear is a basic possibility with any soft synth out there; thats hardly something exclusively special towards this crazy fellow.
As to the vst itself; the sounds are ok, it sounds good and the diversity which they described here is also there. But unfortunately; warnings like these make me approach this with the idea to handle something "special". So when it turns out it isn't really much special you'll end up disappointed. At least I did; I'm not keeping it around.
Well, the interface.. Tastes differ, but I agree with noizybee here.
