I've been using Reality for 6 years now and I still find new ways to use, with the new 256 voice drivers the patchworks (64 osc. mono monsters :) is awesome, especially with all the synth types combined.

I'm still amazed at 1.56 and use it extensively with my PIII 856 w/256M RAM. Its modulation possiblities are endless, its no toy.

Hear it on 'Illusions #1 - 5 at: www.besonic.com/raymar

I'm using Reality 1.56...

Reality is good, but it's not the dream machine some of these reviews imply. You need a way juicy CPU, and you'd better set the polyphony and CPU load pretty low if you don't want to start dropping voices. (Reality purports to go up to 128 voices - what a joke.) No latency? Maybe not when you're doing pads and strings, but try using this "sampler"/synthesizer for complex drum parts and you'll hear a perceptible lack of tightness. (Interestingly, if you're looking for a serious software sampler, Nemesys' Gigasampler doesn't suffer from this problem - plus Gigasampler and Gigastudio offer 20-bit output or better.) Like I said, Reality sounds good, it's definitely useful, and it offers a lot of advantages over hardware synths costing 5 times as much. But, sorry, Reality's latency, dropped voices, 16-bit output, and blue screens of death won't make synths like the Z1 obsolete. You need much more than Reality to make serious music.

Reality 1.56 is great, check it out on my CD Inside Perspective at: http://www.mp3.com/SteveRaymar, but it really needs a serious upgrade! I'd like to see it have a scratch bank to make it easier to shuffle sounds around. It has a nice feature that lets you see sounds in a variety of orders but they're not really in those orders by program number. Its too easy to program, the effects are numerous and great(I'm hooked on the stereo echo), and when you incorporate a foot pedal it gets much more expressive and brings it alive.
