A New Synth From Cakewalk

Check out the demo for Cakewalk's new Dimension Pro synth. It sounds pretty good. It's their first Mac product since ..........

It looks kinda cool, but the price I think I will stick with Crystal for a bit longer.

I see it's selling for $249 at online retailers.

I did get a NFR copy of dimension pro. It has a lot of sounds, is very flexible and works well in Metro.

The biggest problems I have with it are that it is only 4 part multi-timbral and it is a bit awkward to set it up as such since loading a program replaces all 4 parts, you must turn on each element before the other parts work and browsing sounds is virtually impossible without sitting at the computer keyboard/mouse because program changes do nothing and there is no way to load sounds (that I know of) with a MIDI keyboard.

With such limits and problems, the price is a sad point then.
Maybe the word 'pro' needs to disappear too.

How is it on the CPU?
