SOUNDS

TONE:

It is very interesting for we spend little time

Polystrings combination with effects + strings behind gives very rich strings: something pretty cool and majestic way Air Virgin Suicides

Not for this synth lead sound, but really born to deploy plain beautiful tablecloths ways Siberian snow.
The effect "together" adds a bonus!
With effects + chorus-like delays, it is superb! REALLY!

Ineffective, uh ... it's a little tougher

The organ section allows to approach Hammond walks so "smooth jazz ....."
Not very convincing though, and really not very "powerful

But also offers beautiful sounds of chimes.
And certainly still a whole bunch of other things I will just look!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a few months, and recently, I triturated deeper
It is good surprises surprises!

For the price of secondhand, it was a really good string machine what we bring in the years 70/80 without any problem.

Something hot, intriguing, almost brief "disturbing"

A € 500-run to buy it!
