I recently got one of these and My mate was banging on about it saying it was an unbelievabley powerful synth. I must admit, the presets are not my cup of tea, but this thing does really have great samples for the time, I own a Triton, A Roland JV5080, and this thing with tweaking is really breathtaking, i was shocked, how the modulation and envelopes could be extensively changed, and you can get all sorts of Analogue heaven out of this synth, as Well as crystal clear timbres, and the strings with a little bit of opening up, sound less compressed than my Triton, and the JV5080. I have made "shine on you Crazy diamond" by pink floyd, using all of this, and the moog lead sounds better than my Virus A, it also makes some great bass for my Trance ventures, and im using it extensively for pads which is its forte. The effects are brilliant too, and its this which makes it all come together, the Filter is excellent for A digital repro, this Thing can sound really big and awesome. Forget the presets, tweak the voices to your own taste, im making some great sounds on this and i can see why the SY85 is a true classic. Except you get 64 notes rather than 32. Never will sell mine. one downside is the editing, but even thats easy enough once you get the hang of it, Ive configured my OB12 to edit the main parameters of the TG500. This makes it quicker. Perhaps i shouldnt say this Or i will bump the prices up too much, as they are going way cheap.
