"It sounds incredible, it's seriously fat sounding the oscillators and filters are powerful and strong , very interesting LFO capabilities as well very unique sounds with this machine ,

The oscillator has a sub setting which goes beyond our hearing range which is very unusual , I can't think of another synth that has this , it can be used in conjunction with the lfo to create bizarre bass wobbles and sweeps - its crazy

It is made in Japan and shares much of its sound pedigree with korg and roland monos than its European contemporaries which in my opinion sound a lot thinner and weedy in comparison ( I'm thinking if the Jen sx1000 and some Curtis based synths for example)

It has an external input for running external sounds through the synth

It has a bit of a strange architecture which adds to its unique sound and charm , it has an odd high pass filter right at the end of the chain -again unique and crazy..."
