But it is one very good 2 channel mono synth. The sounds tend to be mid range for the most part, you can get a low end out of this machine but it will take a little work. The highend is excellent this little box screams, if in a litte more tame digital sqwuak. For interesting effects run a digital drum machine through the filter, I used a roland tr-707, and to be honest I was quite happy with the results sounded aphex twin like, good staring spot, especially since the flanger and delay are both midi tempo sensitive, so no ungainly wacky effects that put your beat out of time, everything is tempo synced and it really makes a big difference in timing, the timing on this box is dead on. I'm sure the resolution is only 96 ticks per QN, but it seems to have very accurate timing regardless of the 96 tpqn resolution.

Good box, good price, I'll use it live for fillins and general leads etc, Hype works for and against this box, disregard all of it -- if you're looking for a decent 303 emulation, or just a quick sketch pad for ideas and leads this box is it.

It doesn;t replicate the 303 that exactly..but as has been stated I think that's a great thing. Just because it allows the EA-1 to have it's own feel. I also own a FutureRetro 777 which emulates a 303 in every possible way. I don't think you can compare the two......they work really great together.

RE: Getting the Input to work...a lot of people (me included) misunderstand this function at the beginning. You can't hit the "Audio In' and effect the sound...that will just relay the 'line input' in it's orignal form, handy for saving space on a mixer. What you need to do is swith odd Audio In, select where you want the Audio In to play via the notes, then select Audio In for Osc 1. Now when you change the filters you'll effect the input signal. You can do some really interesting stuff with this.
