UTILIZATION

Easy to understand, straightforward doc explains well, some patches of sound program

SOUNDS

This weird machine that sounds like horror movie organs Fantomas when stacking or other strangeness sounds like some film scores of Ennio Morricone, but also things like Francis Lai soft if you want .
spcial keyboard accordion is interesting but trs.

Attention: the game is much Mono programmable very modern, funky fat bass flutes or the moog possible (the low preset is great, it sounds like the bass of the first Stevie Wonder and also as in "Get out your lazy bed "Matt Bianco, except with the Portamento can be made good solos as sharp as can be heard in some rap songs and other stuff to do.

trs crative inspiring machine "Bizarre" big sound from the kitch-moog Farfisa, 100% functional to add a grain of dinguerie in any style

you can make beautiful sweep and whistles that pierce the ass with the filter
effects and full of the Star-Wars

beautiful cosmetics, beautiful pots of different colors all 25 ent + 8 Multi switches, + 15 preset buttons and various
Coaching beautiful wood, it's srieux.
the Polyless does not look the same as the hexagon XM64 is a picture of audio-zine, it looks like plutt Monopoly Korg

no aftertouch, but not VLOC priori intelligent single note

an input and output Keyboard (I did not essy ca must be a CV / Gate)
between a VCF for PDAL
Glide pedals for a entrre

OVERALL OPINION

Specially, this synth is unique but not dbile.
great source of inspiration for compositions singulires.

Air, Moog Cookbook etc ... I think would be very happy to have one

but do not panic!
