Its the envelope decay that is little odd when the time is long.

Short envelopes are punchy and all the other positive adjectives.

The PWM stuff is pretty spot on and the bass sounds like a 101.

So for live, it will work for me as I tend to use the 101 as a bass on 
short envelopes.

I will record the sound I am talking about and put up a link shortly.
