Reality is an advanced, fully-programmable, synthesizer and sample player with studio-quality sound. It uses five types of synthesis: sample-based, virtual analog, FM, modal, and numerous physical models. The software has fast real-time response allowing you to use Reality as you would any other musical instrument. You can create your own sounds or choose from hundreds of multi-sampled instruments and synthesized textures included on the CD-ROM.
Reality is 16-part multitimbral with up to 128-note polyphony. It can be run concurrently with sequencing software to create a self-contained music workstation on your computer for live performance, sequencing, composition, sound effects, or sound design. It uses Microsoft DirectSound for compatibility with a wide range of audio cards.
If your on a budget, Seer Systems also makes a less expensive software synth/sampler product called SurReal.
