Caractristiques
I repeat and confirm: All of the ingredients are subtractive synthse presents the facade of this very beautiful synthesizer .... that the sounds of the Oberheim gnration (easy for me who can put the OBX ct / OBX-a).

UTILIZATION

Dveloperai one point I never evoked here:
It is a practice keyboard control keyboard and / or keyboard master even if it is not its unique function and displays.
Why?
Its polyphony is sufficient control
His very numerous "faders" sliders (and Controller ribbon. (Relative or Hold)
Pitch wheel parramtrable 0 24. / Modulation wheel LFO1 to LFO2 / Morphing stamp stamp program and the program) can rgler many Paramtres an external module
Passage boards of the use of sounds in internal or external sounds of expanders: very convenient live
Memorize configurations
Module effects and arpgiateur

Using very simple and quick with a user manual readable (unlike some)
Only complaint: no longer made! and if I have to buy one, not sure to find one when I have more room

SOUNDS

Remove the effects, use sparingly in well-chosen 1 or 2 good quality (even on stage) and you can get a very varied range easily so the interface is well RALIS e.
It lacks the matrix of an EMS (or AKG) but that is another story.
So 7 / 10 as an analog one is irreplaceable even if some of the VST and other plbiscite

OVERALL OPINION

Very good report qualitprix. We can do better but more than double the price in time. And not necessarly better (some current models)
Only the heavy touch can miss on this synth but it much less portable and more fragile, so for the scene and / or the studio is very good.
To understand the analog is not bad (except the lack of matrix) but this is not the same investment. Count 6 7 times more expensive?

Why I sold it and / or offered for sale:
Considering the place, I kept a synth on each register in accordance with a subtractive synthse, one in synthse additive and a keyboard that can control heavy to include some samples.
I know there who do everything but if there was a machine ideal, everyone would have the same and the soundscape is sad. Long live diversity.
If I have more room, I Rasht and yes many of us sell then repurchase the same machine later once the storm passes
