Its a f*cking great little machine. 2xDCO's which consist each of 2 waveforms
[which can be selected from 8&5 waveforms] & long EG's which give you a
lot of soundcontrol.
It sounds very moog-ey, especially in phat acidbass, GREAT portamento
mono-synths. [Sort of like the one in Gescoms' "Sounds of Machines our
parents used"]. Spooky strings which remind me of 70ies scifi film tunes &
chilly resonance sweeps.
Even the 16 presets are nice in a way. [Especially the vibrophone sound &
the plastic 80ies disco-electro bass].

Yep, that is not available. But the great sound makes up for that.
There is an excellent pitch bend which affects the filter in a [very little]
way.
[and that is about the only real time control there is]
You can control the filter by an envelope generator, thus allowing you
to make filter sweeps.

Yep. But 4 phat monosynths ain't bad.

In polymode it's just 1 channel. [8 polyphonic when using 1 DCO, 4 when using 2]
In Multi mode I guess that you select an empty "sound" for the other midi
channels
when you don't want to use them.
Anyway, It's one of my favourite synths.
Bye.
