Even SBS was still not terribly rich or bassy. People often called these things treble stations or lead stations. I found them to have a kind of thin dry sound. I think it was well suited to goa/psy leads at the time. I like the filter though, as it has its own sound.

The signal path is unipolar supply, AC coupled, which I think may contribute unfavourably. I haven't bothered to investigate it much though.

Unfortunately the processor choking was a real problem. I had trouble tweking a 16th bass line. Really bothered me at the time, as I was writing fast hard trance/techno when it was released, and specifically chose it for its extensive MIDI implementation and knobby panel. Too bad.

I think any modern processor chosen now would run circles around the old model. Shouldn't be an issue. However, I hope they re-think the analogue section.
