Well I picked this up only the other day for about £80…it was a bit of an impulse buy after reading a few good reviews on the web.

The unit looks pretty cool, and the build quality seems ok. It does vector synthesis, and there is a joystick to morph between the parameters on the front.

The actual sounds it makes are, IMO, pretty awesome. Lots and lots of presets which are mainly good, dark pads and synth strings. It doesn't have a filter but that's ok 'cos it sounds the damage when put through the Sherman.

Oh, and editing the patches on it really appeals to me, you get 4 sounds that make up a patch and dedicated buttons to turn each on and off…plus you got lfos, envelopes and all the usual stuff.

I just wanted it as a subsitute for using VST's for pads and stuff so there is a bit more presence there, and yeh it seems to do that well. So if you see one, pick it up!

4 outa 5.
