I traded my Obie for this one, and the sample based layered architecture with the more-complex-than-average envelopes give me a first impression that this one excels as a pad machine for those long evolving Vangel-ish background pads. The factory sounds are so digital it almost makes me smile. Some sounds are very similar to the ones I had in my JX-1, so I almost feel like we’re old pals. Time will tell how much use it will see. The user interface is excellent, it almost feels analog in spirit. Every relevant parameter has a dedicated slider or button.
