Sure. I feel that lots of the presets on our two synths (both
ensoniq, one VFX and one ESQ-1) are quite good, depending (of course)
on how they are used. As an example, Intermix uses the ESQ-1
"icepop" preset one one of the songs on Phaze Two and it sounds great.
Simple modifications to presets is often enough to produce great
sounding patches, and putting any simple moog-style preset through a
guitar flanger pedal can be tres cool :-)
