prefer one over the other, regardless of it' specs.

So first I like the Wave more as a Rompler than as a synth.
But in addition, If I start to turn the knobs it gets even better.
I love the overdrive and the filters, but I am not into the more
advanced synth programming possibilities that the Wave offers.

As I said before I like the basic sound characteristic of it. I hope
you get a chance to try it sometime, as the demos do not do it
justice.
Yes it's for sure a great "ROMpler". But man- I'm LOVING it as a synth!! As a vintage enthusiast I hate to use words like "Motif" and "Fantom". But I can say this thing KILLS as a synth alone. Add the samples and it's a dream- at least for me.
