It's a wonderful machine, but:

- keyboard's only 5 octaves
- filter stairsteps under high resonance
- single filter (per scene)
- lightweight plastic body (not metal)
- Wallwart power supply
- There are hidden limitations in the mod matrix (some modulations
work in unconventional wayw)
- Only one modulation variable is controllable from sequencer
- I wish it had octave buttons

Oh, well that's all I can think of.

It's still a wonderful machine. :)
