The negatives: While you get a lot of features, the handling is so, so. People say it is a great synth for a beginner, i disagree. Since it is hard to understand the menus, and what is written on screen. I realized that when you are starting out, it is better to have a clear understanding on what you are changing. The sound is ok, but lacks character, and is a bit soft for my taste. I guess its expected from a cheaply priced digital synth.
On the other hand, it is inviting to play this little beast, because it so small, and easy to cary everywhere. Just plug in and play anytime inspiration kicks in. I've spent hours diving its menus on my bed with headphones, exploring the sonic possibilities. Never underestimate the power, of a small form.
But i guess it is time to move to a analogue one. I still will have this one, since it has sentimental value now, because it hooked me to a world of weird electronic music, and because at summer i plan to take this small synth, to the woods, put some headphones and jam on :)

Not what I had expected. It was made of a cheap green coloured plastic. The lack of features was also a bit disappointing. But I didn't care much for that at the time. It sounded good though.. Could do with a few more patches and the ability to edit them much further than you could. I know a lot of bands use this live, but given it's flimsy exterior, I couldn't see it lasting too long unless you took great care of it. I think it's shocking that something this price can be made out of plastic!
