Probably the best synth of this type and era; let down by lack of SysEx and tricky cassette load.
Love seeing what you can get out of it but to modern ears it does have a slight chiptune quality despite the unique mix of analogue and digital approaches. Absolutely brilliant for horns, organs, and unearthly sounds of similar colour, but weirdly less good on even harmonics. I bought it because Orbital.

Surprisingly flexible, easy to play, hard to edit on but supports SysEx. DAC showing its age.
Well thought out range of factory sounds, and the filters and digital delays are great - you can almost use this as a subtractive filter synth - but they do have the 90s digital character. Editing and combining voices is very very flexible but hard to think through using the front panel - better to use a SysEx editor. Never tried additional cards but I hear good things. Adamski got some good noises out of it for sure!
