The ESQ-1 is very good for learning the basics of synthesizer programming, it has a very easy- to- use user interface It produces really good basses and lead sounds

Nate Pickowicz For the most part, I like having a bang-around keyboard. I don't know much about it, but it's helpful for me to put down a few tracks on the sequencer to se how something sounds. I hate the factory sounds and am looking for a way to get better ones. I have a feeling I'm just going to smash it in concert one of these days...

Comments About the Sounds:
Fuck the factory presets - program it yourself using my editing and storing software which will be available as a beta version these days...

(Thanks to Kristian Duske for this info.)
