Fidelity? What fidelity? My experience of this truly awful machine is that of trying, and failing to get a realistic sound from it at all! The perceived bandwidth was so narrow, and the each note's loop had such a pronounced click, I found it virtually unusable except way back in the mix with tons of 'verb. If memory serves me, I think that third fader was a tone filter.Open that up and the background noise would smack you straight between the ears! Guessing that the reserve on this item is still some way off, my advise to anyone who's thinking of bidding is ...Don't! You are likely to end up in a pool of disapointment. There were only a few of these instruments ever made. I wonder why.
