"Nice matte black case with beautiful engravings. Sound is 100%, can range from brutally harsh to very pretty and sweet. Digital oscillators (a ton of waveforms) with an analog filter section (Dual SVF) comprised of two state variable filters. This affords incredible versatility: series and parallel routing, 3x modes per filter (hi- band- low- pass), linking the cutoffs. The modulation matrix is great for creating custom patching which can be easily saved and recalled.
For example, envelope may be routed to LFO2's speed, and LFO2 may be routed to filter 1 cutoff, and filter 2 is set to follow filter 1 at a fixed interval. Running this through the two filters in parallel, one lo-pass, one hi-pass, can yield some amazing sound, in this case evolving as time elapses. Another fun thing to do is to select the vowel oscillators, and route an envelope or LFO to the "parameter" of the oscillator (in this case, dictating which vowel is played). The tone will consist of swaying, bubbling vowelly weirdness.
This synthesizer is great because it is not only easily accessible to beginners through the great and varied patches, but the well-organized menus make programming a painless experience (completely unlike the first synthesizer I ever owned, the Micron, which was dreadful to even make basic changes to patches), which encourages experimentation. And of course, experienced synthesists can appreciate a well-designed, strong instrument. Awesome versatility in a tiny package..."
