UTILIZATION

very simple, we are in ergonomics of the 70 very refined. there is no need for manual is very intuitive.

SOUNDS

so if you liked the sounds kind of science fiction 70 years this synth is for you (it certainly has been used on the soundtrack of haves Hills Eyes Don Peak, can be also on the soundtrack of Cartenter DarkStar). it has a little less dynamic than SH101 but what heat!.
as long as you have a tape echo (even a simple delay) and you're in the space between Mars and Saturn.
the noise is of incredible purity, it is once again in the hyper-space cryogenic or runaway choice ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have only a few months (thank you again revega) but I'm not about to part with it.
good, there is no MIDI control, not even CV / Gate! but there are ways to change this lack that is due only to the early days when it was designed (this synth is older than me), but this should not be a reason not to buy it if you come across an opportunity (it is relatively rare and not very expensive) because the heat of the sounds and what it evokes is not comparable with newer machines (at least I do not know ... ), it's real good I'm very objective here, but how you say I'm a fan!
The bad thing is the buttons on the front of the keyboard are very, too fragile.
