It's a lot better than many people give it credit for...
Even as a basic analog synth,you can dial up sounds that work great in a mix with very low CPU drain and loading up four sine waves and changing the symmetry and the shape of the sines is pretty cool...
The multi-stage envelopes are very good and the filters and LFO's do their job just fine...
It's not one of my main workhorse synths,but it gets used a lot because it is useful...
It's not perfect and there are many features found in other synths that don't exist,but that's not the point...
In the real world,each instrument plays a part in creating the overall tapestry that makes up the collective sound...
Now that's punny
I use it because it gives me another colour and it always blends well when I am layering it with other synths...
In many cases,it actually blends better than a lot of the "big boys" do...
An orchestra is not made up of 84 violins because that would be as boring as batshit...
It is made up of different instruments to give us textures and tonality that compliment each other...
And that's the way it should be with our synth palette...
