99 programmable patches on PC
4 pots to grind live
2 buttons to select the patch
2 audio inputs and two audio outputs (mono 6.35mm)
1 headphone jack 6.35mm
1 + 1 MIDI IN MIDI OUT
1 PC IN 1 PC + OUT (MIDI connectivity, to edit patches on PC)

UTILIZATION

To play this synth, no lizard, one branch and it works. To edit the sounds with the PC is the modular synthesis thus a complex hair still ... but incredibly creative! and then the possibilities become endless.
The +: a small box that is autonomous once set for the live is handy.

The icing on the cake is the presence of audio inputs, which allow you to use the bug to apply effects, and even make the vocoder!

SOUNDS

I pretty much used the MM, probably because I found it easier sounds I was looking elsewhere (eg my MC909). I mostly used for bass sounds very synthetic and fat, and 2 or 3 times a dilapidated kind vocoder effect. I also find it fun to produce layers of sound that change randomly.
I used a little electro live for a moment, driven by the sequencer of my MC909.

This is clearly a synth and studio tool rather than focused on realistic electronic sounds, and requires the user a little experimentation, but with all the sounds that can be downloaded can possibly happen to wire boiboites on the screen! (I find it amusing ... I switched to Reaktor!)

OVERALL OPINION

A decade of intermittent use, sometimes with very long pauses (it must be two years that I have not used but writing this review makes me want to get back!)
Never technical problem.
And especially the original sounds that can change at will and can even create from scratch and effects

I do not remember the price at which I bought it, but I do it again this choice without hesitation (!)
