This is a very rare synth & as minty as vintage synths come! Purchased from the original owner few years back with the original box! cosmetics 9.9 out of 10 & i just love the look of this 1985 time warp!
It’s also another synth Com Truise used in his early productions though more sparingly than his matrix 6 but definitely used in tracks like “Blind Date” by his own admission... But no this not a cheep prophet 5 replacement... Its has more genetic similarities to the sequential circuits 6 Track But with some other unique tricks up its sleeve .
I dont use it for every track in my mix... but it does a few thing very well... it can do split patches along the keyboard or layer 2 patches for more complex sounds & you can control their levels independently from 2 chunky front panel knobs...It has not only L & R outputs But also Independent Outputs Per Layer! so you can further mangle & effect or EQ them separately in your mix.
... In my opinion it really shines brightest when either using sounds with the onboard chorus & or adding external delay or reverb to them ....OR Doing what I Love Most on this synth... which is stacking all 8 analog voices in Unison Mode! which Belts out Very characterful Face shredding Leads & Bass sound ... If you play to its strengths at & have other synth for normal bread and butter...then its def worth the price of admission IMHO...Or just star gaze at it in an Timewarp like I do..., wondering what the future could have looked like if only the 80s held on just a little longer ;) !

NOTE: I have 100% positive FEEDBACK on BOTH EBAY & REVERB For 15 years Now! and will be posting their if items dont sell here locally So buy with confidence! the 0 star kijiji review here was was given to me by a SCAMMER who gave a very vague description of what exactly he was selling & (NO PHOTO) & when i ask for a photo of the item to gain clarity.. he proceed to request I PayPal transfer him $100 for the 'privilege' of having him then take a photo of the item! I said no thankyou politely and left it at that. & kijiji's algorithm in its wisdom somehow game him the right to leave me a review for a transaction that NEVER HAPPENED!
while several finished purchases & sales have never been given the option when they wanted to leave positive feedback!! CRAZY I KNOW & NO ONE at Kijiji has ever responded to any of my messages ... so yeah now you know!
