Great little gear for the price.

Really good synth. It is really worth the price. May need a delay and reverb pedal. But in general, lots of sound design. perfect for my set up.

Great bassline synth!

Highly recommended for the price!

Great oscillator and filter combo (with envelope). Has a very innovative built-in sequencer with self-generate option, arpeggiator and transpose on the fly, for jams and inspiration. Hook it up to a controller or other sequencer to get its full potential. Maybe basic modulation for advanced users, but more than sufficient for beginners. Again, patch it to other hardware for full potential.

All in all, a great little work horse machine for the price that can be useful in any synth setup, especially for basslines! Great option if you are looking for something different from the classic 303 sound, to even expand on it.

/ things to consider /

- not the best first synth, get a MicroFreak, etc.

- not the best for leads

- LFO is a little bit gimmicky, but useful

- Artwork is not for everyone, I personally love it!
