I tried it too. Looks pretty cool ! But I have never liked the idea that 
virtual versions of classic synths and keyboards have to have the same 
looks as the originals. It is nice to look at but I'm not sure if all 
those nice graphics, with sliders and buttons, and with wood en metal 
colors and shadows make it easier to handle if I'm working behind a 
computer screen with mouse and keyboard. I prefer a simple and boring but 
functional user interface. But don't listen to me. I'm the kind of guy who 
prefers the commandline above the graphical bloat that's so popular these 
days ( That's why I don't like Mac OSX and Vista. But that's another 
offtopic discussion )
