I've owned ProSynth for 5 years or so. The price was then 200€ (2nd hand, this synth was never imported in Finland, so I was more than pleased to find it wandering about...)
The overall sonic quality is very pleasing indeed, true analogue thru and thru, the absence of fx is no issue! Earthshaking asskicking low-end rumbles appear here with every authority, (just stack your voices, please...) as well very interesting oddities close to Aphex Twin or any modular synth, thanks to very nice modmatrix. And the oscs are rocksteady with very precise user tunings, just try your meantone scales for those in-tune thirds.
The wish list: The ProSynth is not a finished product, although a highly usable one; attack times could be more aggressive, some sweepings(both LFOs and other mods) suffer from staircasing(software!!), (Be admitted, the settings here were a bit on the extreme side at times...)the filter introduces some odd noises at times (software?), which on many cases, though, add character to this little beast, CCs or mod destinations could use wider scalings, from zero to the full effect. The manual sucks, positively, some functions are very hard to detect/predict! Any editor could help lot with programming, as would a full easy access to all parameters.
Many of the modern beasts, despite some lacking features of the ProSynth, will have a hard time competing with this synth. A very nice extra to any synth stack!
