hello all,

okay a very brief first impressions review - as i've got 6 months worth of
invoices to write and someone's funeral recording to dump to cassette, and
it's very hard to concentrate...

so it's only $26 plus $3 shipping to the UK, it's easy to fit and it
instantly adds another 256 waveforms to your unit - it'd have to be pretty
shit not to buy it

the clipping functions are quite good - my bassline patch i have set up at
the moment instantly turned quite brassy
the ESQ functions are brilliant - it really does add an extra dimension to
my modular (allbeit a now a clone of a digital synth)...
will someone please tell me what the MARF function is..??!?
the morse loops are interesting - i'd imagine that a tempo sync-ed LFO or
ADSR in conjunction with this would add some interesting rhythmic elements
to a track

as you'd expect, there's tons of stuff here to trawl through - i'd say it's
definately worth it just for the ESQ alone, though it would have been nice
if there were a little more narrative on the waveforms - not too late for
that though eh john..?

cheers
