“This is really nice for short stabs and it’s got really sharp envelopes. The guy I bought it from instantly regretted selling it. It’s perfect for silky-smooth strings too.”

“It’s got a really different colour to the Jupiter-8. It’s got a slightly out-of-tune, wonky sound. You can do leads and basses, but it’s generally better for soft pads.”
