Love it. You need to buy a good one as some were badly built, but a good one is a great modular system. The 3 LFO´s have 3 outs each, which makes modulation stuff easy and mad. The VCO´s are well specfied and sound excellent (Moog copies) and the VCF´s are nice (1 multimode, 1 lopass/hipass 24db). Worth checking out

Comments About the Sounds:
A great and underrated analog modular. Cheap if you find one and great sounding.Very Moog like and very stable. the VCO´s are as stable as any analog I´ve heard. The standard system has 3 vco, 2 vcf, 1 dual vca, 2 adsr, 1 noise/random, 1 triple lfo (!!), 1 out module and a filter bank

(Thanks to David Morley for this info.)
