"These units are impossibly scarce to come by, and were made in such low numbers, and were VERY expensive when they came out.
Unlike the Microsynth/Bass Microsynth, this is a true pitch to voltage guitar synth with three VCO(voltage controlled oscillators, an extensive voltage controlled filter section(VCF), and a voltage controlled amplitude section, with portamento(variable pitch glide), and a vast array of configurations, waveforms, fuzz mix, clean signal blend to help create some truly magical sounds.
This of course is a monophonic synth(track single notes only..Microsynths are the same way), but because of vast number of sounds, variations, and interactivity of controls, you don't miss playing chords...
Setting the sensitivity control is key, along with using a fresh set of strings for proper intonation, and using the neck pick up gives you more of the fundamental tone so the unit can track best.
The key I found(and this is not mentioned in the manual), is to lightly dampen the strings(palm-muting with the right hand for right-handed players), as it further enhances the fundamental tone, and this allows you to use the bridge pick up as well with quite good results.
The sounds are rich, sweet, fat, and full on analog and this unit requires no special pick up like many others...just plug in and play."
