"A LOT of synth packed into this thing"
Verified Customer

This board is super solid. Awesome build quality. Metal frame is fantastic. Knobs feel unbelievingly great. The FX alone on this are incredible.Be sure to REGISTER this with Arturia to get the VST plugin for free with this as well. Totally worth the time to do that. I am very impressed with this synth so far after having it in my hands for less than a day.
