Nice multi-effects box

What I specially like about it is the multiple ins and outs which allow to address more than one piece of gear (up to 4) but the drawback with the unit is there is not a lot of headroom so prepare for clipping.

3 in 1 Voice toolbox

For now, I mostly produced with it using internal voice sounds, and so my rating is mostly for that. But just for that it is super useful, specially as the voice tones don't take a lot of bandwidth. Well done!

Powerful all in one unit

Pre FX, FX, Post FX processing, high dynamic range, XLR, easy to use menus. It's all good, but the only this it doesn't have is a stable power supply (!) Watch out for undesired distortion.

Classic Ensoniq

The power in this one is in the modulation possibilities and expressiveness. The sounds themselves (ROMs) are ok, but the sound engine is really good when you start adding all that modulation capability and expressiveness.

Raw analog sounds

Great synth when working with what it CAN DO, because some might argue rthat it is unflexible. Once you open that section of possibilities, it's easy to see there are some really awesome sounds possible from it. Expressiveness is not that great because of the options it has, but otherwise it does have some great possibilities, so for those who get easily deceived or can't program a patch, this one is easy to program and use.

Bit99 distributed in Canada by TCM

They literally plowed their TCM badges over the bit99 lettering top and back.

Otherwise a classic Italian synthesizer where they got adventurous with the memory options and the parameters dialed in. I do not like the quality of the sliders and buttons, but otherwise great powerful sound. Useful stuff.

Reverbs galore, funky pitch shifting, beautifying sound

This effects box is made strictly to be placed in the studio and is fragile as all of the chips are socketed, even the remote. That's annoying because quite often there are troubles with it just because of sensible contacts.

Otherwise: Great reverb effects with lush shimmering, infinite hoarding sound, make funky pitch shifted voice and sounds, use as sampler and through MIDI for funky live sampled effects and triggering, echos are good. There are some SMPTE functions too, and the sound is 50khz so it sounds really good as the DAC / ADC stages are high caliber parts, and the PSU is monstrous.
