UTILIZATION
Very easy access, a key 'Edit', you press the keys with the name of the parameters and turn the knob to increase / decrease the values, it could not be simpler. Undoubtedly a synthesizers numerical control the fastest access. Additionally you can see a little of its architecture through the meters that are in front (it makes me think the DX-1). was 32 factory presets (permanent data ) and 64 user locations (32 in bank A and bank B in both.) The cool thing is that it is not Omni Midi, you can select the transmit / receive MIDI channel.
SOUNDS
Side sounds, I agree with the opinion of some Backdraft, the sound is excellent. I would say the sound is pretty crystal with fully open filter, the filter sweep is pretty sweet, grain more filtered sound is really nice, more round and warm. Nothing to do with what can be done with the series of Juno for example, and, not least by the presence of two DCO's (as well as the large difference in components). Regarding the grain, I would also say it would be closer to a Prophet 600. The sound has a good dynamic, great for sequences or the low brass sounds. This is obviously not a search engine, but this synth is doing pretty well in a lot of types of sounds, if we want to go further you must add an advanced filter (with Midi Sync) and the result can be really nice (but it changes a little texture of sound) or an effects module. To control parameters with control-change would have been great but the implementation Midi is really basic (very basic). The velocity response really makes the most expressive synthesizer.
OVERALL OPINION
It is a solid machine construction, the line is simple and neat (we like it or not ...). Its architecture is very well thought out, it feels its ergonomics. For cons, I do not understand exactly why this synth is so widespread and undervalued. I would do this choice without hesitation.
