Awful or not, characterful they are. After all, these presets have become classics by being used all over the place by Vangelis. And Blade Runner wouldn´t have sounded as stunning, had he not used Brass 1 and 2...

What I can't get over about this instrument is how AWFUL the presets
are. I have read on Mark Veil's "Vintage Synths" that there was this
technician who would provide you the option of changing these presets
to some that made more justice to the potential of this wonderful
machine.
Anybody know if such a mod is still available?
