I had a chance to play a real rack version VS years ago, and still remember those swirling sounds. Later got Wavestations and that horrible TG33 module, but never gave in to the Dark Star. This tiny synth however, is cheaper than Volcas (not intended as a profanity... really), and sounds, well, like a tiny tiny VS. More just fun than actually awesome... has useful sounds and responds well to a proper keyboard or, in my case, guitar synth (for which four voices are more than enough). Shame that it has only 4 voices though for keyboardists... Would be nice to find a way to polychain them without spending twice the amount for a Blokas Midihub... Anyways, for the price and the sounds, it should be in everybody's studio.
