"Storm 1.5 is a rock solid little studio with a colossal sound. On the surface it may not seem as versatile as Fruity Loops in terms of functions and expandabilty using Fruity's VST 2.0 effect plugins, DirectX instruments or Buzz machines in version 3.3 and price - but arguably, the quality of the Storm synths are superb and very individual. For $149 that's a lot of synth. You will not be disappointed!"
