"Absolutely pristine, MINT condition, except for professionally upgraded display and LEDs. I’ve looked for any cosmetic blemish at all, and I can’t find one. There are no scratches or dings in the chassis, all knobs and wheels are firm and smooth, and the keyboard is even and responsive. It's never been gigged, never been exposed to cigarette smoke or temperature extremes, and I keep it covered when not in use so it's never even been dusty. The only difference between this and a brand new one is that I upgraded to a blue OLED display that’s much easier to read, and the red LEDs were replaced by (brightness-adjusted) white ones. It’s beautiful!

This is more than just another virtual analog, it's an incredible synthesizer. It can do fat, round, squelchy analog sounds, or its wavetables and FM can give it a glassy, harsh, or piercing digital edge. It's like having a 25-voice PPG and Oberheim SEM all rolled into one. I'm really going to miss it.

The list of features is too long to type it all out, but here are the highlights. Three oscillators plus two tunable suboscillators per voice with all the traditional waveforms plus two 128-wave wavetables that blend incredibly smoothly between waveshapes. Three LFOs with lots of advanced options. Ringmod, sync, FM on all the oscillators, plus each oscillator can go separately to each filter in varying amounts. Two 12db or 24db filters per voice, with the following types: lowpass, bandpass, highpass, notch, PPG emulation, comb+, and comb-. Filters can be serial or parallel. Two separate effects engines and 4 multitimbral parts keep their effects in combinations. Programmable arpeggiator, a real modulation matrix, digital output, responds to velocity and pressure, etc. The knobs are the famous Waldorf endless encoders, so there's never an unmusical jump in the sound when you turn one. It's a joy to play."
