This is a more esoteric form of synthesis that would go over a 6 year old's head. I have a hard time wrapping my head around some aspects as a 40-something. Subtractive synthesis is much more straightforward, and gives an understandable reaction for each knob turned. IMO, the Korg Monologue would be a great synth for a kid. It's cheap, especially on then used market (around $200), is pretty close to one knob per function, and has a built-in oscilloscope, so they can see the waveform they're creating/affecting.
Excellent! More synth deals, iconian!!
Yes, if they're on shrooms.

Wave Sequencing synths are extremely complicated. Even with it being a newer and better designed one. I mean I'm sure he would have fun with the sounds though.
This is a great deal considering prices could go up soon.
This is a professional synthesizer, it isn't a toy. I doubt a 6 year old is going to get much out of it and will likely break it, since it isn't meant for 6 year olds abuse.
I also would like to see more synth deals. When you check most of the US majors it looks like price collusion a lot of the time. It's rare that any of them has a better deal than the rest.

Aren't there much cheper software alternatives to this? even built into Reason, Live, FL Studio, etc, or VST?
There's plenty of cheaper software alternatives. Even free ones. But that's not the point of having a hardware synth. I'm much more creative with a hardware synth in terms of sound design. And a hardware synth is usually more reliable and doesn't take up computing power. But there's nothing wrong with using software synths.

You're right but your computing power definitely takes a hit if you're using so many sounds. Hardwire just has this undeniable fee to it that can't be replicated digitally sometimes.
