"If you need any convincing that the Pro-Soloist is one of the great-sounding monosynths of all time, buy this example! Stunning, brilliant presets, which are just mind-boggling - how on earth did they get such quality and realism in such a lightweight synth with the technology of the early-mid 70s? And although the presets are only presets, there are 30 of them, with wide variety, and most of them sound good throughout the five possible octaves. More important, pressure sensitivity gives wonderful expression possibilities. This is simply one of the great solo-ing synths. Manufacture is a bit tacky - the switches are flimsy, the keys are by now a little clacky - but you have to forgive it everything when it produces sounds like this. All presets seem in perfect calibration; all keys function perfectly; sliders are good; switches (for a Pro-Soloist) are nothing short of a miracle. Pressure needs a bit of a push, but not so much as to make an un-natural or difficult playing style. This instrument works beautifully, and looks very good too. Forget any prejudice, this instrument (and especially this example) is absolutely FANTASTIC!"VEMIA - Click on Auctions, Search, and search for 5863.
