Of course it sounds, looks, plays great!
Some great craftsmanship top to bottom.
Still yet to have my effects added.

Thanks Mark, still need to wrap my head around the microsampler.
Looping is so cool.
Mind if I pick your brain sometime, so to speak?

I haven't really got to grips with it myself. I have a tendency to collect gear without learning how to use it. But if I can help with anything I will be happy to.

My latest is the monotribe, the tron goes quite well with it.  I have promised the wife that that is it for this year! Next year possibly a juno di, a korg krome  or an ms20 mini or all three volcas!

I see you really like the Russian Choir, Orchestra, and of course the 3 Violins. Me, too. Is the 3 Violins/Cello a split? How do you like the Guitar Harmonics? I entertained that one.

As I eluded to in prior emails I was a tad redundant with the choirs, the male choir is OK but boys and women are too shrill for my taste.
The guitar harmonics are interesting and hold a lot of potential. I was expecting something a little different, but after all a lot of these were chosen years ago.
I'm sure we waited three years for the instruments if not more. I think a pedal board for some sounds (like the guitar harmonics) is in order.

No effects for me is not condusive to displaying the machine full potential for me.
I haven't fully set up because I've been house hunting for a year and a half, (optimistically) apparently too much so, sorry to say.
Looking at one tomorrow which it probably close to 40 so far.
