The quality of provided samples in the free version (basses, acoustic and electric guitars - with effects -, church organs, drums, ethnic percussions, arpeggiated synths) is great (better than in most famous samples libraries), as the included effects (convolution-based reverbs, amp sims, etc.). Moreover performances are really good on a G4 (full church organs with Origami convolution reverb, powerchord electric guitars with amp sim). The interface is very smooth (and presets load in a few seconds) and interesting/original (refreshing).

Use of external VST Instruments isn't supported in the demo (only VST effects plugins), so the full version is required to apply Indendence's great effects to Kontakt or Play based libraries (the demo can still load 25 audio files, so we could apply effects to a pre-rendered mix). The TC Electronic M30 Reverb VST plugins loads, however its editing dialog remains blank (and setted to some of a default preset, whose mix setting does not sound good, and that is finally less impressive than Independence's own reverbs).
