This is really a most unique piece of equipment. I really can't compare it to anything else, and that's why this synth will set a new standard for sound production for the next generation of electronic music.
The oscillators really fill out the sound. They're really thick ... stack all three of the oscillators for some really present, evil leads. They're so reminiscent of our video game past, yet they're calling, seeking, yearning for something new ... the oscillators say "future" while not forgetting their past. The table feature is really one of the best parts as well ... I still need to do a lot more experimentation.
The filter is one of a kind ... not lush, not smooth, but unique in all the good analog/digital hybrid sorts of ways ... therefore it's deep, it's dirty, it's loud, it's cacaphonous, it's messy, it's grungy. I haven't even tried running a signal through this thing, too, so there's still so much more to discover.
This thing has 4 LFOs which can be independently assigned to the pitch, vibrato, the filter, PWM ... am I forgetting something? The possibilities are beyond my full comprehension, but I'm sure I'll pull something out that's just mind-blowing ... imagine 4 LFOs changing all these things at the same time ... talk about dynamic sounds!
Yes, it's very noisy, but that adds character, in my opinion.
In short, the SidStation is far from a category killer, and it's far from traditional, but if there is one thing about this synth, it's definitely a keeper.
Buy it. You'll like it.
