Best value: Excellent
As said below 100% analog and you can hear live.
Lots of separate outputs and multiple inputs giving her an opportunity to treat external filters (Oberheim emulation and moog).
3 banks (2 preset sounds and 128 user).
Full ultra short a point never talk guys love their old analos (also very good) but the interface is completely outdated (all that is old music is better everyone knows !!!).

UTILIZATION

The general is not a simple config and andro is really a synth research so you really spend time on it because it is able to do everything.

Editing sounds need to understand that everything can just adjust the andro and several different layers, which sometimes proves a bit difficult!
The advantage is that you can also try random stuff. the meiux is still read a little of the principle of subtractive synthesis.
I have the manual is in English and sometimes lacks common sense (ntammnent MIDI on the use in multi and separate outputs).

SOUNDS

The sounds of plants are as mentioned below to return to work for a little flat.
That said the andro may be suitable for all styles of music.
The bass should really be reworked, but when one is hacking it becomes huge.
The string sounds are top vintages such as Solina and arpeggios and sequences are formidable.
this synth can really show soft and fluffy or scream.
envelopes are very complex and allow for endless possibilities.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since November and I feel that I am only at the beginning of the road and yet I thought I knew before the analog synthesis andro but ....
the characteristic I like most is the fact that the sounds obtained are alive and that this synth is proving very good at lots of different domain even if it is true that a larger minimoog sound live sounds low but you can do the same things with a minimoog for a price two times more chances. (those who can not make it sound this machine should really ask questions before you're off through the mind)
The prticularité I like least are the factory sounds that make this machine down incompetent because they are invalid and do not know how to edit because it's true that you still have a little patience.
excellent value for money when comparing the options, polyphony etc ...
I would do choose to buy it with eyes closed compared with a lot of things before ...
If you take this synth, you'll see that the plug-ins (although very honorable) are still far away, here you can feel the electricity, grain, and life ...
