Too sterile for the price range

Excellent vco/vcf/lfo control, poor sonic range

Awesome machine

It's a deep, complex, and super interesting toy. I've spent dozens of hours playing with it and it's never getting boring. Build quality is awesome, works flawlessly, together with Analog Rytm it's ultimate set. Pricey, but worth it.

More than just 1 (4) Monosynth...a Analog Groovebox-ish...

This is a very original product, and in some ways "different" from most of other Synths.

It can be a (1...2...3...4) MonoSynth. (s) ..a 3 voice Poly,,,a combination of both ... Monosynths...4 Voices...4 Tracks to use as you want.

The sound is definitely Analog (although maybe not as FAT as some Moogy style Monosytnhs) , but due to the complex architeture and wonderful Sequencer ,you can think of it kinda like a Analog Groovebox and not only as a Mono (kinda...but not really) Synth,

It's not a Knob per funcion synth, you have to read the manual and stick with it. I't not all that complex, and it can be very simple to use as a straight synth.

If you are familiar with Subtrative Synths , you will have no major problem to use it , for regular Synth Duties.

But you should investigate the Architecture and the Sequencer, because that's where the real Magic and extra value comes from it.

The Overbridge applcation is also a plus, to use it with a computer / Daw.
