Looks like a poor man's andromeda!
The second mod wheel is a nice touch.

Yes look like a poor man's andromeda but has also it's own sound and 
vocoder.
Nice little VA  that I pre-order one even as I have Andromeda.
Waiting on som more Demo-sounds from Rollerator mayby next week.

Her is some more I got from Ben Ling
Filtertypes most of them is modeled after classic analog synths like 
ARP,MOOG,ROLAND and OBERHEIM the also be other type of filters also.
+ in Effects will also be a Resonator and som delays not "no long 
ones" short and medium.

One the sound designer will maybe be Dave Bruce that will make a 
bank also made some programs in Andromeda.
