    It is using Curtis CEM3389 as filter/panning/vca chip, the same chip as used in the original Waldorf microWave or the SC Studio 440.

    It is a hybrid synth along the lines of Korg DW8000, Kawai K3 or SC Prophet VS...

    I used to own this synth. It was by far the worst sounding piece of shit I've ever heard. This box proves that analog does not always sound good, decent or even acceptable.

    That said...if its cheap enough its a source for CEM chips. Toss the rest.
