This is a synthesizer which clearly represents the newest technology possible within synthesizer design. It's easy to use, yet highly complex - it's easy to make weird, awesome analogue effects with it which you'd normally need an Arp 2600 to accomplish otherwise, still you've got full polyphony on the NL3. This synthesizer is a new landmark in synth design. It will - hopefully - become available around December 2000; possibly January 2001.
Comments About the Sounds:
It sounds like a Matrix 12 - warm, fat, complex.
