      1. If it has the most advanced microtuning of any synth on the market, that might be a good thing to mention in the features list, as opposed to making prospective buyers RTFM to learn such things. Would only have taken one more bullet point.

        But let’s not escalate. Looks like a cool synth. I’m intrigued to learn more about this microtuning implementation.

  1. As always, the devil’s in the details. These descriptions are scant on details when it comes to features like microtuning, polyAT/MPE, release-velocity, and mod matrix features like secondary (depth) control sources and curves.
