Impressive sound
Beaubourg 15.08.2023
This synthesizer just sounds really good, I think it is fantastic that Oberheim brought all the capabilities and sounds back from their beloved synths from 80's. Combining them all in one, adding some and effectively creating new possibilities while retaining THAT signature sound. It's not cheap, but I was after the Oberheim sound and I was not disappointed.
Build quality feels excellent. I read comments about "menu diving" and to be honest I was slightly concerned too, but it's really only one list of additional functions, some of them are available on the front panel as well while the "page 2" is selected. I think they did a great job with that too and there's not much "menu diving" really.
The module is in fact quite large and the condensed layout does not feel crammed. It's certainly portable, and I wish there was a gig bag for it.

Sound haut um! Bei ausreichend Platz aber Keyboardversion nehmen...
Puritsch 31.10.2023
Der direkte Sound - bereits ohne jegliche nachgeschalteten Effektgeräte - ist wirklich klasse. Ich bin begeistert.
Zum Schrauben liegen mir persönlich die Bedienelemente zu dicht zusammen. Das ist der einzige Grund, warum ich das Desktop-Gerät zurückgeben werde. Da ich den Platz habe, werde ich die Mehrkosten für die Tastaturversion in Kauf nehmen.
Wirklich ärgerlich finde ich, dass bei diesen Preislagen eine gedruckte Bedienungsanleitung nicht Bestandteil der Lieferung ist. Das ist arm. Da bin ich von Moog & Co anderes gewöhnt.
