Hi Ugo,

Well, the SID is very versatile and different from other synths. The Keyboards
(Germany) and Keys (Germany) reviews were great ! They gave the SIDStation a

limited amount of SID chips left, it's definitely going to be a collectors item,
so it's a good investment as well (although I'll never sell mine).

Ciao,
