"Ok. You ready for a weird one? This is definitely a quirky little bird of a keyboard.

A lot of things here will be familiar, though: two analog oscillators with very wide frequency ranges that can go from 64ft to 4ft -- and also each be used as LFOs -- with the classic compliment of analog triangle, saw, and square/pulse waves. Two snappy envelopes. A very flexible dedicated LFO with waveshaping. Sample and hold. White and pink noise. Ring mod... I assume you're following along, so far so good.

But then... VCO 1 can FM VCO 2? And then VCO 2 can ring mod VCO 1 at the same time? And then this filter is... a ladder filter? Like a Moog -- but compensated, so it doesn't lose low end when the resonance is turned high and screaming. And then... there is... a filter bank with its own dedicated mixer section. Yes, it works and it is a very bizarre addition that I have pretty much never seen on another monosynth.

Anyway, like I said this is just a very quirky and interesting little thing. I've had a great time squeezing weird late 70s sci-fi vibes out of it, but perhaps it's time for it's next home."

Nice Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555 on top.
