Sound designers will have great fun subjecting the samples to all that synthesis power.Дimension Pro deserves to be successful. What's more, with this many presets to choose from, you're bound to find something that fits the bill. We weren't nuts about the leads, but others might find them to be just the thing. What one user loves, another will loathe. Of course, presets are a subjective area. We did experience a loud 'pop' when switching between some presets while a note was being sustained, but on the whole, our complaints are minor. There might be a bit too much reverb on some patches, but this problem is easily rectified with a simple twist of the relevant knob. Try as we might, we couldn't hear a bad loop or any other undesirable artefacts. You'll also find a good selection of percussive sounds (some of which come with MIDI loops that can be dragged into your host sequencer) and we're already planning on overusing a few of the included electric bass sounds. Well, a stroll through the 1500 presets reveals a wealth of usable and versatile programs - there are some very evocative pads and effects in there, and a host of stunning layered sounds. Of course, what you really want to know is how Dimension Pro sounds. The bottom half of the instrument includes a Modulators display that displays the selected envelope and Low Frequency Oscillator parameters.

The GUI looks very much like that of Z3TA+ - there's really just a single main screen, which shows most of the parameters for the currently selected layer. However, such close attention has been paid to the interface that you'll only need to refer to it if you're an absolute beginner.

If all this sounds a little on the complex side, you'll be pleased to learn that there's a bound paper manual provided in the box.

Other goodies include a Vector Mixer for performing X/Y sweeps between the four Elements and a pop-up mod matrix for routing your internal and MIDI modulation sources to the desired parameters. You can route these mod sources to all the usual destinations (including pitch, pan and amplitude), as well as to filter cut-off and resonance.Д®verything that should sync to the host tempo does so, ensuring that your rhythmic machinations automatically lock to your song's bpm. This means you have a phenomenal range of modulation possibilities. 20/20 visionДЄlso onboard are a staggering 20 LFOs and 20 multi-stage envelope generators. In addition to the insert effects, you can send each layer (or Element) to an aux effect. After these comes a dedicated multi-effects processor with another resonant filter and an LFO. You can spit the samples through a multimode filter, a bit-reduction processor and a fully parametric 3-band EQ. It offers the ability to stack four stereo sample sets, each of which has a complete array of advanced synthesis functions. While the included samples certainly pass muster on their own, Dimension Pro only really comes to life when said samples are pumped through its vast synthesis architecture. You also get a nice bonus in the shape of Gary Garritan's Pocket Orchestra. Guitars and basses abound, and there's a good selection of keyboard instruments. They cover all of the sonic categories one might expect to see in a general purpose ROMpler - there are drum kits galore, ethnic and orchestral instruments and loads of synthesizer waveforms. The samples are stored as SFZ files, a format we first saw used in rgc: audio's SFZ SoundFont player. I have a gig this weekend, and if I can't use my laptop I'll have to scramble for a replacement rig.Cakewalk are shipping Dimension Pro with a whopping 7GB of samples (these are spread across a pair of DVDs). On my desktop (XP SP3, Pentium 4 2.4, 1.5 GB RAM) I can run ten instances of Dimension, all playing simultaneously, with latency under 100 ms, without dropouts. I've disabled System Restore and removed firewall, antivirus and antispyware programs. According to SONAR, CPU usage never rises beyond 10%. The one note in the other Dimension track distorts terribly.ДЄgain, nothing's changed except that I've inserted a second Dimension synth. I insert a second Dimension soft synth (a slap bass), and I leave the track empty.

I insert a Dimension soft synth (an electric piano).

I'm running Sonar 5 Producer (I know, but I can't afford to upgrade right now) on XP SP3, 2.0 Intel dual-core, 2 GB RAM. I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
