Thirty preset some possibility of shipping on both presets Synthe.
Trs simple, even a bit basic.
A look all its own, I've never seen anything like it. No risk of confusing it with another or even a family membership. A kind of UFO in the world of synthe.
I adore ....

UTILIZATION

Nothing complicated button = sound
three, four buttons to change the sound
Y's play

SOUNDS

So it is the vraimment instantly. I never heard a synth warm, even followed by a warm reverb sound remains. Nothing to do with a juno 60 is always a little mtallique and over a numrique, I do not even speak.
The sounds are not ralistes, though ... with a slight flanger, to dig a qualiser mdium and a good reverb, bass gives an archer of the most stunning.
The clarinet is also good trs. We must not hesitate preset combinations (one more for the M500) and add a little effect.
But above all sounds are well shuffled hots they hold the high Dragge to MS20 and juno 60 (in sound, not the shipping).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over 30 years and I am always satisfied. Incidentally, it is of any robust evidence, not a shadow of a problem for all these years, it works like new.
The presets can be seem a limitation, it passes from one another in a split-second, which is not the case of MS20, but I also like that every time I want to patch I spend half an hour searching the cables ;-)...
What excites me with this synth is the warmth of the sound.
