This is an extremely flexible and damn serious real synthesizer capable of making a tremendously wide range of diverse sounds. It's ideal for everyone who enjoy spending time to program their own unique voices, and it sounds excellently powerful. It really put freshness to a lot of my tracks. Many of the CP-voices in particular are just brilliant, but actually, this synth is capable of making outstanding sounds of any kind.
It has a complete range of programming features for each operator in a voice, and it's great that each of them independently can be programmed dynamically and scaled across the keyrange, very useful!
The manual is clear and punctual, and programming is quite easy and straightforward with the aid of the multipurpose knobs.
I haven't made any use of the FSEQ's. They seem to be a gimmick not needed for this gadget, but that's my personal opinion. They might be indispensable for others, and they are quite impressing and demonstrate a lot of the potential.
The routing for the assignable sound controllers and external controllers is very generous, but it's a little irritating how tweeking the FORMANT- and FM-controllers changes the sound in audible steps, it limits their usage.
The effects sound great, though it's cumbersome that they are linked to the performances and not to the voices, but these few cons are insignificant in comparison to the wealth of exciting features.
A GREAT PRODUCT!
