I've made tons of tracks on this thing and recorded them through the digital output. I got a really clean, crisp sound, but using it as a multitimbral synth, I was locked into everything running through the stereo outs with very little panning or ways of using outboard processing. |

Replaced a fritzing JV-80, which was my first "real" synth. I do regret not getting something with an onboard sequencer. I couldn't understand how to use MIDI and computers at the time. I was about 10 years old. |

This was my first synth, purchased in 1986 at Best. It has an amazing demo song. |

I thought I'd like the sound of the push-button presets, but compared to an LXP-1, it's not as good of a sound and nowhere near as configurable. |

Used with an MRC, essential. |
Paired with an MRC, you can easily program dense long reverbs. Sliders are a little dodgy. |

My unit had the random patch change bug, rendering it virtually unusable, but the MRC fixed the issue altogether. I never touch the front panel. |

Very, very clean and quiet. Colors sounds oh so slightly and in a very nice way. |
