I just bought one of these on impulse, coz it was so cheap and found out it was designed by Dave Smith! (Correct me if I'm wrong). I think the whole vector thing is really neglected and really cool - realtime morphing from one oscillator to another. And i don't care about the low quality sound - grainy low-fi heaven is what I think.
Anyway - do these synths deserve their low reputation? Or are they the forgotten work of a synth genius?
