Well I will not list them in detail, everyone knows them, or else see the doc on the site keyboard.
I'll just give those that do not quote me fairly or that appear important:
- Analog modeling synth, the sound is there, clear, with a potato of hell, the media assets present and yet the sound simulates well the analog!
- The red burst up grave (single, in my studio we see that!).
- Multitimbral: 4.
- 4 separate outputs with several possible configuration.
- No menus submenus (all functions are accessible with pots and buttons>> to the exeption of sync LFOs, MIDI channel assignment as usual ... what, we know).
- A big bank patch, which unfortunately only the first 400 locations are registered user (overwriting the original patch shame! For the price!)

UTILIZATION

Super simple, as said before, one button, one function (I even find it's too simple). In 1 hour you have on hand in two days you know well, and 4 is digested, assimilated! an example of logic, ergonomics and simplicity this synth!
Special mention por LFO Section ultra easy to access (if you already know a few) and yet comprehensive: routing to oscillator 1, 2, 1 & 2, the volume or the filter envelope ... Everything is there.

SOUNDS

Good is the highlight here the programming is put aside in favor of spontaneity and sound.
It is oriented electro, bass-based organic acids, square or round aggressive electro, ambient pads spaceship or underwater, or other sounds more disturbed.
Analog modeling is successful despite the sound more focused in the midrange frequencies in the low and infra.
Please note this rack still lots of big bass, but nothing to do with a supernova II
eg.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been two months since I received it and I already know like my pocket, the pleasant surprise is the sound and texture, super punchy!
It is of the composition and I'm not going to sell it!
If you are looking for a good synth efficient and intuitive, comfortable in the studio or live, with an expressive grain and sharp, this one is for you!
PS: If you are more interested in trying the keyboard version as the control part (the pots, buttons ...) is located in the upper left, and I find it quite uncomfortable, it is even for this reason that I 'I opted for the rack.
