Great little synth
5 Stars
Great little synth
Great analog synth! Can create countless bass lines, brass, wobbles, and more! Fun to just play with different settings and get inspired. Only drawback is there are no presets or memory (I knew that before I bought it), so I often take pictures of what settings I use and video of the sound. All in all, I am extremely satisfied with my first of many analog synths! The on-board speakers are decent. Haven’t used headphones with it yet. Portability is a good touch, but I’ve hooked it up via USB and into my mixer to record live playing as well as sending MIDI from my DAW, then recorded the raw audio back in while playing with the sliders to shape the sound.

Definitely go for it if you’ve been playing around with soft synths and you need something real. I’m a guitarist first, so adding a synth was on my list at some point (as writing tool, tracking etc).

I love the no menu approach, totally tactile, no learning curve (just get stuck in and make some noise!). Highly recommend the cs, I’ve got it setup permanently in my home studio into a stereo DI. Incredible sound for such a small instrument.
