Comments: I love this synth and it is a very good beginner's synth as it is
          easy to program. However I don't have room for it anymore.
          Before I had the luck of finding a 303 I used this synth (still do
          in fact) to emulate one. Most of the programs I have in the internal
          memory are dance (techno/house oriented) sounds ranging from acid
          bass (ala 303) to SUB basses, filter sweeps, lush strings, housey
          horns, electric piano and vibes, blips, bleeps, ambient pads
          as well as some which defy description. These of course can be
          changed to your liking or erased all together (and restoring the
          original factory patches of <boring> realistic instrument sound
          by holding down the first 3 white keys while you power up.

          One of the features I find useful on this synth is the additive
          synthesis of the user programmable wave. This lets you set the
          intensities of 32 of the first 128 harmonics of a wave.

          Another useful item is the Jog Knob which can be assigned to any
          parameter for live tweaking. (Good to emulate changing the 303's
          controls)

          As I said, this synth is special to me, it was my first and I'd
          kinda like to sell it to another raver or someone just getting into
          analog synthesis. Wish I could keep it but as I said, I'm running
          OUT OF SPACE!
