The Model 15 is a surprisingly capable semi-modular synth, offering a serious dose of classic analogue character at an affordable price. It's a fantastic entry point into modular synthesis for beginners, or a fun, accessible tool for experienced musicians wanting to explore vintage sounds. Don't expect it to replace a high-end system, but it's a remarkable value for what you get.
