GREAT!!!!

You fared better than I did with one I bought on eBay. When it came, 2
of the characters didn't work in the display. I have been unsuccessful
in my search for a new display. Otherwise, it works perfectly! I have
another one that works fine so if I have a question about a patch or
whatever, I can consult the other M6R.

So glad you got it going!! It's an awesome synth.
