Sounds quite analog, I don't see where that's not been acknowledged. Only in comparison with earlier synths would one notice the relative difference, a bit of an analog-digital flavor that some would prefer, or not.

VS i've also owned; synths in the mid-80s had a tighter digital-analog character to the envelopes, in relation to earlier analog cousins. I'm always referring to the sound relative to what came before, not the absolute sound.
