Arturia SQ80 V

As a previous SQ-80 & ESQ-1 owner and current ESQ-M owner, I'm excited about this! I spent many hours in the late 80's and early 90's programming and playing my Ensoniq boards and even put my ESQ-M into my performance rack briefly, but took it out as I was concerned about heat and age. This will solve my concerns if it sounds good.

There is the SQ8L software that was released long ago that people still use, but never left beta status and is essentially abandoned. I've seen another product that only used 2 OSC instead of 3.

I was debating (and leaning against) upgrading my V collection but will probably buy this separately.

Anyone else looking into this?

Wow, an update - they offered me an upgrade to V Collection 8 and SQ80-V for $149, which was an unbeatable deal. Even if the SQ-80 emulation is only 80% good it's worth the price for the updates to the other V Collection items.
