Analogue systems

The sine output is great because in addition to giving you (something close
to) a sine wave, you can also shape it in two ways.  With the tri/saw morph
pot you can morph the sine into a curvy-saw which sounds good, and different
from the linear saw.  Also with the sine shape CV in, you can change the
tone even more, adding some pleasant overtones to the sine, and get even
more complex waveforms by changing both parameters at the same time.

I also found the 95e to exhibit a bit more stability and keyboard tracking
accuracy.  I really like the multiturn dial since it makes it very easy to
find the exact pitch you want.  It also gives you a lot more control when
setting up FM sounds.  And it looks fantastic.
