I have 2 Dark Stars, and I love 'em! Dif'rent strokes, I guess. Yeah.
there's a video game quality to the sound, but I don't mind that in the
least. My only criticism is that the built-in envelope is not very snappy,
especially for something that makes such great percussion sounds, so I
usually route it through an external EG/VCA. I just keep mine mounted in a
frac rac in the same rack as my MOTM. They seem to co-exist peacefully.

Anybody built John's new Final Filtre yet? I'm intrigued as to how unique a
sound it really is.
