This dissallows the slight detuning of the oscillators or setting them an octave apart to give a fatter warmer sound. I have two Sequential Circuits Six-Traks that I had to midi them together (rackmounting one) to get one decent sounding synth. together they are pretty nice sounding. Although the short keyboard is still a significant drawback.
