“LEGENDARY synthesizer! The built-in effects are amazing – the Ensemble setting allows for a beautifully chilly string sound and there are some warm analogue brass sounds in there too. The Unison button turns the synth into a searing monosynth by combing all 6 voices on one note.
There are a couple of mods you can do to make it even better – check out Kiwisix or Tubbutec’s Polysex/Modysix.
Cosmetic damage: there is some cosmetic damage to the wood panels. There are a few scratches on the panel incluuding a large one over the sub-oscillator label (does not affect functionality in any way). There is a bit of gaffa residue.
Sound-wise, it has two issues that I’m aware of that have developed since the last time it was serviced (by well-known synth technician Simon Flinn). Firstly, when I leave it on for a long time, occasionally the knobs suddenly refuse to control the synth – the sound goes haywire and the knobs no longer change the sound. In the past, turning it off and leaving it for a while has fixed it. Sometimes opening it up and checking all the internal cables are fastened well has helped, too. Secondly, one of the 6 oscillators seems a bit out of tune in the lower registers.
Finally, a couple of the rubber buttons are a little sticky.” Click here to search for synths on eBay
