For those of you who have never had a chance to work with one of these items... let me tell you that this is one fun little synth. It is one of the few monos I know of that have MIDI, and the last time I used one, the response time even seemed pretty good. It also comes with an arpegiator and a little sequencer. The part of the synth that I love the best is the filter. It has an adjustment called "width" that controls the width of the resonance peak. That and the thing is High / Low / Band / Notch pass resonant. Yep... Resonanct notch filter. Coupled with the DCO's putting out some bizzare waveform of unearthly design.... Let's just say that I have been looking for a very very long time. Some of you european folks may be wonder what took so long, but I have come to discover that they are really rare over here and much more common in Europe. That and when they break they can be a real bitch to fix, and there were few places that could fix them over here. So I imagine many of the ones that did make it hear eventually were unfixable...
