Often gear and instruments feels and sounds magical when you research them then when you get them they don't live up to the expectations because you haven't mastered it yet. But in this case I can honestly say that this synth blew my mind straight away. It is one of my most used tools in the studio (work mostly with music for media). It is not the most versatile synth on the planet but for me I want instruments that inspire me and this instrument keep inspiring me. I love the sound, look, build quality, sequencer, arpeggiator, spring reverb and workflow. Most of the time I let it pass through several guitar pedals to get the sound I'm looking for. If you are after an analogue mono synth that you want to keep forever this is the one!
