i have to say that after getting this synth a month ago, i love it dearly.
i was in on the MOTM discussion, but since then i've gained a new
appreciation for this synth.  it's not the most versatile, but you're
exactly right, it's the performance controls that take it to a whole other
level.  i just can't get over how utterly classy it is, as if no expense was
spared.  i can only imagine what a cs-80 must be like.  

having said that, there is one thing i'd like to see and if any list is the
one to ask, this is it.  JH, anyone: what about routing the sine
sub-oscillator back through the filter matrix?
