Feature:
A computer based editor would be nice. But cheap is why I bought it. If it makes it more expensive, forget it.

Quality:
I received B-stock and could not find even a smudge. However it feels like someday that control knob might spin right off.

Value:
You cant beat it for the dough.

Desirability:
It’s small. That may not be sexy but it’s easy to live with.

Sound:
Every thing I wanted.

Ease of Use:
Programing is laborious. No way to key in parameter values. You have to spin the control knob around and around. Also, you can not map progs to another location. Since I wanted to play the Micron with my proteus SE to thicken the brass and sax etc. I had to reprogram the sounds into the apropriate program locations. It took forever but now I just plug and chug.

Support:
Not yet. And I hope not.

Overall:
This is the only analog synth I want. I use it live for mono mini-Moog leads and horn and string / pads etc. midi’ed with a sample playback module.
