If I were to describe this little synth in one word it would be "cute." Though it is not heavy on features, it is exceptionally user friendly, and can put out some solid sound!
Features:
-1 oscillator
-32 presets
-built in distortion, delay, portamento, pan settings, cutoff, resonance
Sound:
Although I was not quite impressed with all of the presets, I was able to get some decent sound out of them with little tweaking. Many of the presets feature gratuitous amounts of portamento, which do not make them very playable. It is a monophonic synth, so you won't get much past basses and leads. It has somewhat an auto-pan feature which generates a pretty neat effect. Some of my personal favorite presets are "Fat Bass," "Atari in Space," and "Pretty Queen." The waveform nob turns about 270 degrees, giving you plenty of options for waveforms, which is a feature I greatly appreciated.
Ease of Use:
It doesn't get much easier. Pull up a preset, twist some nobs, and you'll have a handle on it in 15 minutes or less. The download actually includes a comprehensive manual. So if any confusion arises, the manual should clear things up right away!
Overall:
Like I said, this synth is not heavy on features. I'd say it is definitely worth a download. Hey, you might just find that one preset you love, and it'll make it's way into your next track!
