NotesA nice little preset Synthesizer, in the same range than the Roland SH2000, Arp Pro Soloist, Multivox MX2000 and so... I found the preset to be very interesting, especially the ''Sitar'', Electric Bass and Choir. As for many preset synthesizer, no control on ADSR, just a SUSTAIN and HOLD button, but it have AFTERTOUCH (For Filter (WOW) and Vibrato). The Filter aftertouch switch actually give a boost of resonnance when you activate it. There's a ''BRILLANCE'' fader that act as a CUTOFF, PORTAMENTO fader and Volume. I found that if you press more than one preset button, the synth begin to mix up the preset and glitch pretty well, but beware of the volume peaks when you do this ''hack'', but you can find some really nice basic waveform, without the annoying slow/weak attack.
