I think its a virtual Poly800.

I ahd a Poly800 and this isn't really right and yet it isn't bad either. Its somewhat korg-like and can be very right for certain sounds. The arp is dead on and the chorus is nice. I like all the tempo sync functions on the LFOs, Arp and built in delay. A full featured freeware DCO modeler that never sounds like a roland. I've definitely made use of this for chord/pad layers in finished songs.
