Took possession of mine this morning. Have to say, played raw through the amp it gave a very satisfying low, grinding sound that impressed me. Perhaps not as full as a more regular sized synthesiser, but certainly heavy and intense. The functions seemed easy enough to use and I liked how the vco's tended to try to shoulder each other out of the way when I adjusted the pitch on each - fiddling with the rate knob on the lfo there's a possibility for some harshness. Some good pulsing straight up just with the lfo. Didn't try the sequencing yet, just wanted to hear if it sounded adequate, and it does, through the amp at least - even had to turn the bass down a bit. I'd say with the right effects and a bit of practice this thing will be more than adequate for my needs. The misgivings I have are the headphone sized jack and, as always with keyboard synths, the lack of a hold function. Things I can get around, but still. Anyway, thanks Martin for reminding us of these instruments, and thanks Marco and F_c_O for the input.
