OVERALL:This synthesizer is perfect for anyone

First off, there a couple of things the Microbrute is not equipped to do; 1) it is not polyphonic and therefore, is not an appropriate option for someone who wishes to use this keyboard to play chords, 2) it does not have presets like many synthesizers offer - it is up to the user to come up with new sounds from scratch (and that is part of what I think makes this instrument a lot of fun).Here's what I enjoy about the Microbrute:1

This is an utterly fantastic analog synthesizer, and I recommend it wholeheartedly

This what he wrote: This synthesizer is incredible, if only for its waveshaping capabilities and its ability to adapt to any genre known to man

This is clearly a powerful analog synthesizer for a great price, but I still found it to be far too complicated and limited

I don't know if I'd recommend either 'Brute for complete beginners or for one's only synthesizer

Let's make perfectly clear - this is a MONOPHONIC synthesizer, which means it is capable of playing only one note at a time.

I love little synthesizers

The Akai Rhythm Wolf, which has a good build, is affordable, but people don't like t for it's synth, only it's drum sounds.

Other than that I am enjoying this powerful yet educational (I'm learning about how to program synths) machine.
