As with religion, the deviation from perfection is a major reason why each synth sounds different.

They're great bass and pad machines. Nothing beats that punchy bass that we all love.

Even though they're mono DCO, that sub-osc makes a huge difference.

The biggest problems with 106's is that a voice or two goes out; the bitch is that replacement chips are hard to find.

Have a blast.

You can buy cloned chips here for 40 EUR.

Nice find.

Now, if only someone could clone the SSM chip for my dying Rev2 Prophet 5.
