It is an analog of 1979. 3 octave keyboard (no velocity or aftertouch) and a button to pitch original ... No modulation wheel. It has 2 outputs (Hi and Low) and an input filter for an external signal (Happiness!). Monophonic (one note!), CV / Gate (in Hz / Volt! As Korg!), Non-programmable (no memory!), No doubt: this is a vintage! O)

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple but effective: 2 VCO, 2 VCF multimode (Low Pass, High Pass, Bandpass resonant ... all!), 2 VAC, 2 ADSR envelopes and an LFO. In addition, it has a glide by VCO and a portamento. Next edition, it's vintage: a knob per function! There's no simpler! For effects, forget!

SOUNDS

A multimode filter for each independent oscillator .. Enough to make a plethora of small acid sounds that I like, deep bass, warm brass, 80's Lead ... But beware: though resonant filters do not wobble! The sound has nothing to do with a Roland SH, for example! on the other hand, a loop filter with a real analog filter bandpass is pure happiness ...!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it about a year. And it is one of my favorite vintage. The sound is original and fun and (I repeat myself but hey) double filtering is insane! In short, if you find one not too expensive (I bought mine CHF 2300 euuh ... .. 350.63 Euros, I mean!), Please! It's worth it!
