I agree about the polyphony, but its vocoder is based on a Korg's classic (I
can't remind the model right now...and too lazy to look for..:-)

Well if I were looking for a monosynth to make only basslines I would choose
the BassStation, I think I should find an affordable used one. But for that
price ($600)...Uhmmmm....I don't think I would ever find a BassStation w/ a
built in vocoder....:-)
