I never used it but it looks really cool and I like how
the entire width of that synth is the keybed.

It looks mysterious :)

This being said, I also really like the Jupiter-6 modulation
control section. 5 octaves and then a really good set of
options for shaping the sound dynamically. Its always a
pleasure to play the JP-6
