June's Sound On Sound magazine has nearly eight pages of SFP review looking at all aspects of SFP. Only slight criticisms were quality of some of the standard effects and the STS range being not up-to-date compared to native samplers.

Summary tag-line:
"Once you've had an SFP card in your computer, I think it's unlikely you'll ever want to be without one again."

Also a (glowing) full page review of Zarg's Prophet Standard & Plus. This is the sort of positive coverage CreamWare needs.

This is an outstanding and well deserved review! Creamware makes a fantastic product and it's about time they get some extra attention from such a well respected magazine.

Bring on the new customers! More people coming on board the Creamware platform can only mean bigger and better products for us.

It's also great to see John's Solaris synth getting a review in the same magazine next month. Way to go John!

I remember a while back reading on the SOS forums that, after the Herb Zimmerman interview, they were intrigued by the SFP platform and mentioned the possability of further investigation into it. It's good to see they did follow up on it. :grin:

I would love to read it, but do not subscribe to SOS. Anyone care to send the text via email to me?

Finally the word is out. Creamware make some superb hard/software, but seem to market it terribly.

Great review but annoying that it didn't include the high-end effects such as vinco

No, no, you're thinking of the celebrity cook, the one who plays his kitchen appliances with midi cc.
