I think that beats the VCS3 in terms of immediacy, and yet has a lot in 
common with it. It's certainly a lot cheaper (a couple of hundred quid 
or so). I found I could multitrack the Minisynth to get big textures. 
With the aid of a lot of caffeine, inspiration and concentration, I was 
able to get a full live "performance" out of the VCS3, so - more 
difficult, but more complete, I guess. I still lust after a true VCS3 
circuit with more filters. Argh.
