Analog modeling and physical: wind instruments, strings struck, plucked, stringed bow etc ...
I find that sometimes the multi-effect "veil" the sound a bit but you can always cut for a more raw, more direct.

UTILIZATION

Very simple thanks to the many parameters available in real time
undrinkable and at the same time when you have to scroll through the submenus via the LCD screen is slow and difficult to read.

SOUNDS

Innovation does not come from resonant filters (you can still tear the eardrum if you push them in their entrenchment) or the arpeggiator (yet powerful program but tedious), no originality comes many physics algorithms .

The drama of this synth is that the factory presets are for most unworthy of his abilities.

OVERALL OPINION

Both say clearly even not be very objective:
"This synth is a killer."

Close enough to me much more recent synth as NORDWAVE, but close in spirit that is capable of producing sounds both experimental hybrid but very playable, scalable and flexible since living with 2 buttons assignable, 2 wheels, 5 faders and a touchpad.
"Wow I must think me an extra hand transplant."

In short, tweak, triturate it will reward you a hundredfold!
