Amazing synth that proves it’s not how many voices a synth has but rather the quality of the sound it produces.
-
The Oberheim sound plus Sequential-style mod matrix. A synth I was waiting for. Thanks!
-
This is the only sound designer that has ever gotten me to purchase patches.
-
Always great to hear a real musician play new gear on YouTube
-
Man this might be my first synth
-
I'm so glad I ran into your videos on my Synth journey! The attention to detail and thorough breakdown of everything is amazing. Thanks to your vid, I will be purchasing this bad boy. Cheers!

First time finding you, and I'm glad I did. This was really thorough, and your playing is fantastic. Thanks so much for the walkthrough of what this can do. 👍

Sounds so good. Thanks for the nice video!

Lovely review: Your passion for the synths really shines through (and great programming and playing too!).

A gigging musicians OB with polyglide.. Man these sounds are killer Julian! Thanks for digging in~
-
Thanks for sharing @J3PO 🙏🏻
-
A really enjoyable watch, thank you
-
Best review of this I've seen. Probably seals the deal for me placing a pre-order. You spent time building sounds and walking through the parameters with each step. Most other reviews either just preset scrolled or went sequencer happy. You highlighted that the synth is a beautiful canvas with lots of options for crafting soundscapes.
-
Your production is absolutely on point - as are your sounds and your playing. It's always a joy to watch your videos!

Adoro questo ragazzo perché non ride mai! Finalmente. I video sono sempre interessantissimi e sempre pieni di contenuti e dettagli che alludono a profondità artistiche importanti. Un vero, giovane Maestro.
