"A very charismatic and distinct-sounding soft synth from Native Instruments that is worth purchasing if you already own the FM7, not least because its original features have been completely redesigned, demystified and enhanced... From the dirty sounds to the divine, the FM8 can do it."
Knowledge Mag, UK, 12/2006

"The revival of FM-synthesis with the FM8 is great fun. Fortunately, its features are not of theoretical origin, but are easily and conveniently accessible. [...] Even when you are searching for a more expressive alternative to VA-synths, you'll hit the mark with FM8."
Keys, Germany, 12/2006

"FM8 basically does everything right and its enhanced synthesis engine achieves total satisfaction. Usability is a dream and feasible for both beginners and expert sound designers."
