what a synth. discrete oscillators controlled by an intel chip, so i guess technically it's DCO. doesn't matter though. this thing sounds great. throw some reverb on it and the dirty character is supplanted with some lushness. perfect. fast envelopes. extensive lfo modulation. the best user interface i have used. superb build quality. highly underrated and cheap. got mine for $250 and it's fucking mint. if you can find one in good shape, just get it- i would pay up to $450 for one if mine were lost or stolen.

wheeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had to have two of the chips replace about six months ago and had to have some of the buttons under the membrane fixed, but it was not that expensive and worth it to me. Also, I found a source on ebay that had the chips and bought quite a few in case I need to replace anymore.

I love the blue and orange screen. It gives off a wonderful glow on a stage and with the lights turned down in a studio.

I just also twisting the data input knob while tinkering with the levels on the oscillators and the suboscillator. Instant gratification at its best!

I have played this live, but have taken great care of this synth. In return it has given me much joy.

I have been offered good money for this synth and few times, but since it is my first, I will never part with it. If you can find one in decent shape, buy it. I do not think you will be sorry.

i've had mine a couple of weeks, and think it's great.. you can get some really interesting sounds out of this machine.
