Out of the box this appears to be very limited, short keyboard, no envelope control and only one sound modification option, however that already makes it more flexible than many orchestral instruments, and they seem to manage. For me they really come alive when you start adding effects pedals, and then the imperfections in the sound can turn it into a snarling, sweating beast from beyond. My favourite options are the Digitech RP55 or a Behringer BSY Bass synthesizer and Nux Time Core, you would be hard pushed to recognise the sound source, but you know its dirty and by heck its fun.

I originally wanted this just for the long "Fripertronics" delays, but soon found myself making and playing along with loops. Not so much Ed Sheeran but more like the Radiophonic workshop from the 1960s
