Any of you ever heard of this? I searched "best vst plugins" and this was sponsored lol.

I installed it once but then deleted it again! Perhaps these two reviews will help you decide.
Ask yourself how you used to make music.

Phil Speiser THE_INSTRUMENT review:

Our verdict
⊕ Easy-to-use and quick workflow
⊕ Useful composition tools are well integrated
⊕ Large collection of chords and patterns
⊕ Some decent, production-ready sounds

⊖ Sound editing is a little basic
⊖ Some sounds are a bit muddy
⊖ Arp is not synced to downbeat
⊖ Samples don’t loop

Amazona - Conclusion

With THE_INSTRUMENT, Phil Speiser presents an all-in-one software synthesizer that contains the essential tools for producing the instrumental parts of a track. The operation and concept are innovative, well-thought-out, and easy to use. However, there's still room for improvement in some areas.

However, Phil Speiser promises that lifetime updates are included with the purchase, and we're excited to see how THE_INSTRUMENT continues to evolve. So, who is THE_INSTRUMENT suitable for? I'd say newcomers to the world of music production or producers looking for a tool to quickly sketch out their first layout ideas.

Plus
- Innovative, creative concept
- Easy to use
- Lifetime update policy: new chords, presets, rhythm patterns, and updates included with purchase

Minus
- Static sounds, lack of velocity-sensitive modulations
- Just over 100 presets, but these are expanded through updates
