if (as i suppose) it closely resembles the original 258, then it's a very
useful thing for anyone to have, all by itself..

i guess i really should make some audio with a 297 and post it. i like the
module a lot, and i don't typically care about phasers. it's also an
envelope follower...

it all depends what you need for your music. if you need a slew generator,
you need a 255. i find it invaluable as a bank of "slow knobs," sometimes.

you're correct. people have different use patterns; personally i've never
even thought about needing to use a preset card. i guess if you really rely
on presets for performance or something, it would be necessary. i still
wouldn't like relying on a tiny piece of portable flash memory to store my
all-important presets, any more than i would keep a single copy of all my
software projects on a single USB stick. as always, if a synth makes a sound
you like it's a good idea to record it....
