I have a warning: the rotary encoder on mine (used to switch patches) went wonky. I replaced it, and the replacement lasted only a couple of months before crapping out too. I can only do program changes via midi unless I replace it again, and I'm pretty bored with doing that now. Otherwise, a very cool synth, the way the fm parameters are editable is unique to this design.

I got one and i love it. Very cool for tweaking sounds, the fm depth and harmonic knobs are nice for destroying and performing your sounds live. I have use mine with a post-rock band (edelveiss) for soundscapes and chimering electronic fragments... this baby can do weird stuff!

the song on this page is a good example of what i did with it...
