Synthesized music has been popular since the 20th century, and nowadays is widely used in all music genres.
The main disadvantage I found is that I couldn't hear any of the preset programs, nor those I created. The interface hasn't a Play button, or a menu that allows you to hear what you have set in the program. The user manual didn't help either, since it does not tell you how to play the sounds. Maybe you need to have a synthesizer connected to your computer, but also, this is not mentioned in the manual. Another disadvantage is the cost, which is not very affordable. Nevertheless, if you are a professional musician, it may be a wise investment.
The shareware version has limited capabilities, the main of which being the inability of saving your programs. If you want to get rid of these limitations, you will need to purchase a license.
