Some notes from the auction on the synth engine:

"This is a pretty versatile synth and in very many ways light years ahead of its time

It has dual DCOs plus noise so more complex sounds than the Juno series are possible

It is VELOCITY SENSITIVE !!!! unheard of on a synth of this era which makes it extremely expressive

It has superb modulation routing capabilities including filter cutoff to velocity and aftertouch of sorts you can route modulation sources in very complex Ways

It has a great dco2 detune slider which has a great effect on the sound really warm and fuzzy and chorusy

I think this synth leans more to the sequential prophet sort of sound rather than roland probably down to its snappy envelopes and Curtis filters , but it has its own unique sound

It has several operating modes

Normal -one sound across the keyboard

Split - two patches can be used one upper one lower !!!

Unison - stack up the 12 osc 's into a 6 oscillator duo-phonic phat monster

Double - some weird mode that allows overlapping it weird ways of splitting the sounds , never used it TBH gives me a headache just thinking about it :-/

It has very quirky outputs lower and upper which behave differently depending on which mode your in The manual says it has "pseudo stereo " so if you plug in two cables it basically randomly pans notes out of each output , what were they thinking :-/ ? (I think it sounds pants personally ) If your in split mode it sends the lower to lower output and upper to upper The best way is just run it in mono out of the upper (mono) output , saves lots of head scratching in the long run So if your after a great sounding analogue Polysynth with midi at the fraction of the price of a Juno 106 this is a no-brainer its pure class"
