maybe it’s paraphonic mode?

Soundwise it’s clearly leaning towards the old 60’s systems, what we probably perceive as “raw” - its circuits origins (904A, CP3, Minimoog VCOs etc) say it.
The Subsequent is much more sonically refined, it’s circuits more contemporarily sophisticated. 
Though having features to let it sound crunchy, if wanted (e.g. see gain staging in the filter section).
I like both concepts and was tempted to get me the limited edition of the Subsequent’s CV version.
(I talked me out of it, as I don’t have that kind of money anyway)
Since I’m not really into paraphonically playing a (semi-)modular synth and have a 5U system I get all the sounds already.

I’d be interested in the sound examples you guys have listened to?!
