Reality 1.5 Demo
by Seer Systems - http://www.seersystems.com/

Reality is a complete software synthesizer for Windows 95 and 98.  It offers five different
types of synthesis: sample-synthesis, virtual analog, FM, modal, and physical modeling with 
over a dozen different models to choose from. A PC running Reality can be played like any 
synthesizer because of it's low latency.  The full version of Reality includes hundreds of 
sounds and samples to get you started. Reality can also make use of SoundFonts for access 
to thousands more sounds.

Screen Shot

Reality is 16-part multitimbral and allows up to 128-note polyphony (actual polyphony 
depends on processor speed.) It can also be run in the background along with your software 
sequencer.  

Reality is compatible with any sound card that is DirectSound compatible, and can even offer 
digital output with select sound cards.
