This was my first ever synth, and also (in
my humble opinion) probably the most under-rated synth
ever!
Julian
Colbeck gave it an undeserved mediocre review in KeyFax,
stating that you needed some sort of degree to
understand this beast. It has one of the best filter
setups I know of. Not necessarily the best LPF or BPF on
its own, but it's the combination of its "Upper"
and "Lower" filter sections that give it such sonic
flexibility. This, coupled with its "Shaper X" and
Shaper Y" modulation routes, fabulous
multi-function arpeggiator and beautiful construction,
go together to make one heck of a synth. (Oh, and it was
designed by Bob Moog, which is more than a lot of 'Moog'
synths were!)
