Not a fan of this new Sequential look with the grey panel and plasticky knobs that appeared with the Pro 3, but blimey does this sound good. I'd rather have a lightly-used Prophet 6 desktop for that $$$$. If the oscillators aren't up to the standards of the Prophet 5v4 and/or 6. I'm gonna have to hear this thing in person. or the way every $650 Strat-style guitar theoretically competes with every $1300 Strat Strat-style guitar. At this price, it's only a competitor to the Minilogue in the way that every 4-door, midsized BMW or Audi sedan is competing with the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. It's seems to be taking cues from the packaging of the Minilogue, but I don't see how anything that it literally twice as expensive could be described as a competitor. I'm pretty sure this is meant to be the successor to the x4 and a contender against the minilogue as suggested by Gchiaren. Unlikely to be the exact the same oscillators as either the Prophet 5 or 6, but definitely billed as VCO. Sounds like DCOs but its hard to tell, its lush but the attack is pretty immediate and punchy. I suppose nobody bothers using multitimbral modes these days anyway. I was hopeful it was multitimbral like the Six Trak, but no. It reminds me of my mopho x4 and the good old 6 track. but, so far, it seems (and sounds) more like a Prophet 5 Rev4 offered at 1/3 the price. On paper, if you tried to compare feature-to-feature, I can see how it would seem like a 5-voice Minilogue at twice the price.
