FM synthesizer therefore quite cold. You really have to look long on its programming to get out of the warm sounds

UTILIZATION

It is not clear at all and not intuitive. We must all remember to get out the program.
The manual is still a big book to read!

SOUNDS

It sounds often metal, that's where it is most at ease. (Metal percussion sounds)
However, it is possible to create layers that go well. With great patience and a good ear.

OVERALL OPINION

Because it was often misused, with the factory sounds, this machine has contributed greatly to spoil the landscape of the audio portion of the second 80 years. (Especially with the sounds of brass type metal squeaker squeaker hyper and aggressive)
I much prefer analog synthesis, but there are still sounds that are impossible to do in analog on this machine.
If the job well, for what he can do it can be valid.
The positive side is that you can find it for 3 times now and nothing so why not, if you dig up a really cheap.
Today it sells for the same price used as the Yamaha CS01 analog to him with a gift (in the mid-80)
At that time was to imagine that Yamaha analog synthesis was dead.
