plong is good.
the lesser known "bwlaang" is also good.
If you set your velocity sensitivity levels right, you can get a good groove going, that crossfades and bounces between both plong and bwlaang (as well schteeen, at higher velocity levels).

You can also coax an impressive baawwWACK out of it if you fiddle with the envelopes and gently stroke the upper left corner.

that's pretty impressive, where is it 159?

Playback in France sells it 156E with 2 years warranty and free shipping for the UK. It's a very good price since thomann in Germany retails it at 198E and they 'usually' have good prices. I bought mine from Playback as well as a Mbox a while ago, they're serious from what I've seen.

Or you could ditch the faux retro controller and go digital - Korg Legacy Collection Digital Edition, that is - for the same price. M1 and Wavestation, with all the expansion cards ever. And the same MDE-X effects.

And you gotta love the digital waveforms to make a "GGgGruaAAwKGGGGggg"
Goes well with a little oemp-tis-oemp-tis
