This is at the bottom of the Farfisa pile. It's okay, but don't be fooled into thinking that this is a Compact wrapped in a more modern-looking box. You'll be sorely disappointed.
However, it can sound quite sweet in it's own way, and the rhythm/percussion sounds are cool. What's more is that you can combine any or all of the rhythms to make new patterns. Another appealing aspect of these machines is that they are relatively common and usually very cheap.
Stereolab used some of these rhythms on a few of their early tracks including the second part of "(Varoom!)" from the 'Low-fi' EP, and "UHF-MFP" from 'Space-age bachelor pad music'. I think they also use one of the organ tones at the beginning of 'Lo-boob oscillator'.
