via punkdISCO on the AH mailing list: "I cant understand why a few people are unimpressed with the MKS80. Maybe it's the interface? Anyway, I have had mine for maybe 6 years and for 5 years it remained unused (interface). I also had a Doepfer Drehbank that was also unused (it was setup to control a few synths so subsequently controlled none). I have now decided to setup the MKS80/Drehbank permanently paired. This means that when I turn then on, they work! The Drehbank has 64 knobs - the MKS80 has 64 editable parameters!drehbank1_mks80.jpg

The MKS80 is an incredible synth. It just sounds wonderful. Extremely powerful and with the unusual modulation options, you can get some very aggressive/unusual sounds out of it.I don't know where the previous poster got the 6dB bass boost figure from (I don't ever recall hearing it quantified) and I don't even know if the well documented boost actually exists, although I have no reason to doubt it. With or without this boost, it has a bass to die for. So much so that nearly every patch I use tends to have the HPF turned all the way up (unless it's a bass patch).
Oh yeah, and the duo-phonic is very nice, as is the very flexible unison modes."
Note the custom face on the Drehbank which normally looks like this image. Also note the punkdISCO logo in the top shot.
