Okay everyone, this is it. This is what you need. Trust me. For one thing, it's fully controllable with midi, so you can make waaay funkier acid lines with a sequencer, and program hard-ass knob movements into those acid lines, can't forget that.
Also, get this: The back of this machine has not only a built in MIDI to Roland DCB Sync converter and a 2-into-1 standalone MIDI merger, but four(!) CV and four gate outputs for control of older synths, so basically it's already worth the price just for the interfacing, get it?!?!
Now onto the caustic sound. This thing is waaay closer than any of that MAB or Novation stuff. Super punchy. And this easily twists Rebirth's head and pukes down it's neck, it sounds so much better AND there's an analog input for direct merging and/or filtering through the box. AND there's a third waveform (a ring-mod combo of the square and saw, using a ring-mod designed after the Korg MS-20), henceforth the phatness oozes indeed.
My point is that this synth deserves a 10 out of 5 because of timbre, interfacing, and overall value. The knobs are giant and grope-able. I highly recommend this, highly. It's only one rack-space, it looks great, and is built very well. They can be purchased for around $450 from jupitersound.com
enjoy! and no, I don't work for jupitersound or syntecno, I just think this thing deserves more credit than it's getting.
cheers, Rhythm_Droid
