  1. Fyi - for those thinkng of getting this - the Micron does not have the standard Steiner filter - it has a vactrol-based filter that sounds really interesting, but it's different than the one that's gained him fame over the last few years.

  2. OK cool Peter.
    I did compare it to my Livewire one.
    And i already found it sound different.
    But now it's all clear!

  3. First off, this guy has 8 of them?????

    I have a Microcon, A Synthacon and the Livewire Filter. This seems to stand on it's own, unlike any of them. This is pretty cool, a synth in a box and a mean one at that. The single osc has a beat function that makes PWM out of the saw or square for a massive sound. The drawback, the resonance is on or off, no variation. This makes it squak a bit. I use it as a modular osc, bypassing the filter. A bit expensive at $737.00 ($600 should be top). Synthacons are hard enough to find. This screams vintage!
