Iv’e just won one of these for £65 gbp fully built I couldn’t resist biding even though I have no idea about it whatsoever, do any of you have one? It arrives tomorrow but the buyer says I need to bu a 9v power supply.
Thoughts?

I used to have one. Did a Ctrlr panel for it to be able to store patches externally.

Easy DIY project if you buy kit. Great for beginners (both, DIY and synthesis). It’s got nice creamy filter. Simple architecture means it’s easy to dial various sounds quickly but it can feel rather limited soon. I’ve used it ocassionally and kept it mostly stored in drawer. It was always nice to get back to it after some time for it’s gentle, non-agressive sound. Sold it while getting rid of not so frequently used boxes.
Here’s little tune with multitracked SawBench synth sounds, drums come from LXR.
