Superb value.

The simplicity is quite endearing, if somewhat limiting to more experienced programmers of synths. However when one just wants to start jamming with an expressive instrument, Tachyon should not be overlooked. What it may lack in visual color and deep programming, it more than makes up in fast, responsive playing and quick access to the most important of parameters. A fine balance is achieved for keeping the screen area fairly uncluttered to allow manipulations of said parameters while playing a passage pad or shredding a wicked solo. The sound qualities are fairly good if ever so slightly on the cheesy side; however the excellent delay and decent chorus help improve some of the lackluster.
The morphing between two sounds keeps things interesting and being able to adjust the octave settings independently can provide wonderful feedback-like expression to ones playing. I also love the ability to switch between glide and hard notes in the midst of a solo run. Glide mode allows finger-wobble-vibrato...something Ive dreamed of since my early days with synths. Real happy it is included here.
A lot more could be commented on here, but I cant wait to get back to playing some more Tachyon.

Huge bang for the buck.
