Of course at the beginning I made the big mistake of expecting spectacular analog sound from it, since it's called a VA synth, but after a short-lived confusion I grew to understand what this synth is all about. It's about being sassy but effective at the same time. Like a nasty brat who gets high grades in school so you can't actually punish him too severely - MS2000 is like a blend of various parts and qualities, and even though those parts may not be perfect in themselves, the sum of these parts results in a great machine. Its sound and character is like a mixture of warmth, strength, courage and playfulness. Now, having spent weeks with it, there's only one word for a synth like that: a CLASSIC. One of the most gratifying synths with huge potential for lots of great sounds.
