Thanks

what do they control: pretty much everything except the global parameters.

It does use the "shared controls for all OSCs" (and similarly for
LFOs etc) system though, which I've found annoying on other synths.
Given the vast number of parameters, I guess _some_ compromises had
to be made.

However, all envelopes have separate controls, which is ace.

Not that this will stop me from buying one if I can get the money... :-)
