First thanks for responding. I am literally right in the middle of it, and need to keep going. I will probably go ahead and buy it, and hope it works. If I feel good about it, I’ll still probably then get the collection and take the loss.
One thing, the weird presets do give me a feel of the range of this synth, and I am not hearing anything cheap sounding. It can do 8 bit type to ambient to core mangle. Very dynamic, and it sounds ‘Roland’ whatever that means.
I have quite a few brass patches created in other synths, and I could use them, but they never really give me ‘that’ warm lush … thing. Even TAL Juno wasn’t ‘thick’ enough. But I hear something in (w) 21, 28, 52, 45, 36 and 35 that maybe if I spent some time balancing, I could get it.
