Raising hand.

Getting on very well. I think it is a unique synth. When I bought it I
kept hearing "modern 101" and I'll tell you, it sounds nothing like a
101. Yes, the 101 sounds better but the MB does so much that a 101
can't and it still sounds great. For being a 1 osc synth it sounds
very full. The sub-osc does a really nice job. The Metalizer,
Supersaw, and Brute Factor all sound fantastic.

Go for it. It's cheap, there's no menu diving and covers a lot of
territory that other analog monosynths don't cover.

Oh, check out the Bass Station 2 also. I haven't heard it in person
but a friend has one and loves it.
