This little piece of machinery kicks some fat arses!!
The sound is the most unique on the planet, it can sound cheesy-videogame-style, and it can sound phat like not many synths out there. And it does it in monophonic mode!!! IT'S A KILLER!!!
The only bad thing that happened is that all the patch memory just died few times, when it was put in midi setup. But, this problem seems to be gone now.
Well, this is it in short.
I love my sidstation. A little-known feature (for those who don't own one) is it's ability to build sequences within a patch. You can have a single note trigger run a tightly controlled sequence of parameter changes for a single osc (there are three oscs per patch, enough for simple triads).
That QuadraSID plugin is alright, but I can tell the difference between it and my sidstation with little effort.
