>But how do you turn it off without unplugging it?  

You don't.  There is the start/stop button for sequences, but to 
turn the machine either on or off you just plug or unplug the power 
supply.  It would be nice to have a seperate switch, but this is the 
same situation as with my Nord MicroModular, and it's really not 
much of an issue.

I unplug all my gear anyway when I'm done using it (even the Fatar 
controller), as this is an added layer of protection against surge 
and such, so this doesn't bother me much.  It's interesting that 
some small wall-wart synths don't have an on/off (MicroMod, Evolver) 
and others due (SidStation).  I'm sure engineers could debate the 
benefits of the one against the other for years, but it's easy 
enough to get used to knowing which is which.

Hope this helps.
