Love it.

The wave soft synth is a really cool wavetable synthesizer capable of creating some unique timbres.. It can be a little hard to learn but is really worth the effort. When i have a cool part programmed but can't seem to get it going on I try the wave. There's some other stuff in this plugin suite that I don't use a lot.
