Fun to make noise with

The Nanozwerg offers everything, a basic synth should have: one VCO + sub-VCO, noise, S+H and a nasty filter, which is a multimode one (!) and can be modulated by VCO (!!). On top you get multiple cv-inputs, audio in and LFO out (!). Very cool. But: tuning is a nightmare, takes up to 30min to heat up. I use it for deep bass and effects.
