Ease of Use : 10
So simple. This synth was single oscillator with a dividing capacitor that allowed "stacked" octaves, up to 4 (mono) octaves from the one oscillator.

Had an LFO. Cheesy sounds, but very useful beginner sounds for anyone without the bread in the 1970's to get a Minimoog or 2600.

Features : 10
Monophonic, short keyboard, only effect was LFO.

Flexible to a point.

Expressiveness/Sounds : 5
Expressive in the way any limited synth from the 1970's was.

Reliability : 10

It was my first synth, when I was 16 years old. A lot of fun, and allowed me to create a Wakeman-ish stack of keyboards within my budget. I had my Farfisa, I had my Hammond, I had my Cordovox piano . . I had the ARP. People were blown away . .. hey, my dreams okay?

Seriously though, a very fun and funky little synth.
