El mio llegó hace escasos días y estoy muy contento, ¿qué decir de él? pues sonidazo grueso y cálido, efectos muy buenos y apropiados para sonidos vintage de los 70's y 80's, a destacar también su facilidad de uso/manejo, así como los patchs de fábrica, los cuales 3 de cada 4 son usables y muy musicales (increible los pads del CS80 y strings machine!!).
Armar sonidos desde cero es un juego de niños sabiendo un mínimo por donde te andas (bastante intuitivo), no es un sinte para el que quiera controlar todos los pasos parámetro-por-parámetro, sino para un músico que en pocos pasos alcance el sonido que tiene en mente y conseguirlo en poco menos de un minuto... ¡creo que he acertado de pleno haciéndome con uno!
Pese a tenerlo tan reciente me he animado a recrear algún sonido emulando cosillas del tio Jarre y el cacharro lo hace fráncamente bien, mas adelante iré subiendo alguna muestra de audio
Dejo por aquí el historial de correcciones y mejoras de los últimos updates:

Fixed bug where Ensemble effect could sometimes display zipper noise when morphed.
v1.30 (2014-05-12)
FX rate 0 now switches off effect.
New morph mutator and randomiser. By holding a Morph Button and pressing Mutate or Randomize, new morph parameters can be assigned to the Wheel or Velocity, excellent for adding some additional expressivity to your sounds.

Changed notation for sharp Split point positions from using a dot to a small superscript square in the display.
Fixed bug where Filter Drive LED was turned off when programming a morph.

Pitch bend range now works properly with multi focus.

Like lists does now include morphs
Amp and Mod envelope now climbs towards sustain level as the decay knob is turned upwards while holding a key.
