    Outstanding playing and articulation. It doesn't matter whether it's a Model D or some other synth, it's always more about the player.

Sadly I'll have to settle for the Behringer version.. which actually sounds pretty good as well, so in that respect I'm happy to be able to get all of those iconic sounds, minus the big physical presence..
