As you noted, it's recorded extremely dry, so when heard wo/ a reverb it doesn't sound good. But they've of course done this on purpose to allow each user to creat his or her space. Even with a basic patch from space designer (Logic), this thing really comes alive.

They've also recently come out with their own sampler and sequencer, so you don't have to work in a traditional DAW.
Thanks, its just that having not been in the loop for a few years and coming from a PC side of things, gigastudio beta tester, EWQLSO Platinium, and knowing that the only new thing is PLAY from EWQL, I just wanted to see what my MAC options were.

Please feel free to keep the comments coming as I know SOME do not work with Intel Macs to date.

Cheers
