It sounds great! I'm still at work, listening on my AKG's and using  
the "push it" button to trigger sounds and sequences. The presets are  
pretty damn good, I have found trying out the Evolver series in stores  
I did not like the presets at all. I did read in the manual that most  
of the presets are from the Prophet '08, so it looks like this  
basically is a little mono desktop version of that synth, what I was  
hoping for :)

The build quality is solid:

metal case (the graphics look like some sort of a textured sticker)
same ol' dave knobs
The input gain knob is pretty ghetto, and a tad dirty?
The screen is fantastic, really crisp and pops out at you even in  
daylight.
No power button - plug and unplug to turn on and off, err...

The sound is just sweet. It's weird, it definitely seems a little more  
on the polished side than a raw type of sound, when I listed to  
sequences on it I can hear them easily fitting into a track.
