ugh, I wanted to like this freebie
a great, fully featured VST soundfont host when you wanna get your emu emulator on, but its INCREDIBLY unstable... crashed my project a couple of time before I got pissed and ditched it... its just not worth using it, the filters don't sound that great and the LFO and ADSRS are not programmed well, too fast for this sort of application....

I only really use this for playing my Sonatina soundfont.
