I absolutly love this synth. It gives you everything you need in a synth to make some of the best bass sounds, hi-pitched chirps and everything in between. The real majesty of this synth is the low end. If you havent played this through a higher watt keyboad amp with sub, YOU NEED TO. Hook up a CV controler to the external input and this is a whole new beast.

what i like on this mono-synth: - the analog but more mellow (than harsh) sound of the 12 db multimode filter - the rubbery sounding square wave mod - the 80 herz lfo (great for fx) - very easy to use
if you are also a bit bored of brashy roland sh-filters, or of a way to overpriced ms-10, try this one, it´s fun.

What a nice little synth! It can't do extreme fx sounds like my Octave CAT (now sold), nor is it fat like a minimoog, but it's very musical. The external input is indeed nice, but really it's better just to play it as it never fails to sound like an instrument as opposed to a pile of circuitry. Good thing it's monophonic as you will need one hand free to twist knobs. Reliable and compact. It does have a square wave, guy-who-posted-below-me and it's quite assertive, thank you. Sawtooth also who hangs back a bit behind the square wave and is better in a supporting role. If you're looking for "features" move right along, but it sounds good and the prices are reasonable, so if you want a musical instrument I say go for it.

Basic analog an fun synth, this little monosynth have a good multimode analog filter and audio input, one good solution for have a classic analog synth and safe money... you can process anythink width the filter, and audio trigger is usefoul and nice...

Best Basic mono I've played. My only beef is there is no square wave, but hell!!! I can use other things for that(monos arn't really good for that anyway).
Its very solid, but I don't know, mine is in prestine condition. So I could see there being some really bad apples in there(noisy, shitty keys).
So, I guess just make sure it is in good condition, its worth paying more. Just don't pay as much as I did. $450 on ebay, you win some and you lose some.
