Value For Money : Excellent
Everything has been said, so nothing to add ....

UTILIZATION

-General configuration simple enough? Yes!

Uh, this is my first "real synth," and I started in sound synthesis, but I did already put together a few sounds: a pseudo clavinet, organ, piano halfway between a Rhodes/wurli/Cp70, and a few tablecloths.
I still have the bone up a bit, particularly at ground and leads.

Easy-Edition? definitely!

All-clear small manual, which can take over the machine quickly.

SOUNDS

Already, I progressive rock (Magmaïen, Klingklangesque) predominantly metal (like Tool, Isis ....)

- Sounds:
Pleasant surprise, the sounds are just greasy and slimy as desired, particularly in terms of leads.

Of course, I have a multi effects behind, but I plan to buy some pedals to make them even more aggressive.
Powerful bass, rich midrange and treble thick, it is never eat saturated by scratching the contrary.
It must bone up the beast, and she married with great guitars.

It gives a next p'tit Krautrockesque group.

Note that at first I was skeptical, if not disappointed with my purchase: I was the ignorant .... ah ..

Just something not funny, it's a shame that it is impossible to handle some functions involved VCO and VCF ...

Touch, aftertouch is good!

OVERALL OPINION

- Used for 4 months
- The most: the sound, good surprises, discovering the synthesis of sounds fairly easy, a nice arpégiatteur, and a solid character!
- The least: a few knobs to manipulate parameters VCF and VCO-Live + one wheel is not enough (but hey, that's how!)
- Good value for money (yum, I bought mine € 120 .... arf ....)
- Content of choice, in the end: a big synth which comes into its own with a small multi-effects boiboite behind! yum ...
