SOUNDS

I have not found one directly usable for my compositions.
Need to start programming.

OVERALL OPINION

Attracted by such other attractive price (195 euros at Thomann) I had
bad idea to order a Venom shortly before the end of their stock and
I need to confirm the unreliability of this unit.
I started off wanting the ugly orange label that disfigures the front, result: a huge sticky glue spot that I had covered with white vénilia to use the device without getting stuck on it like a fly on his ribbon.
After this mishap I start the synth and there, from the first use
LEDs flashing unexpectedly or fail to light more bluntly,
I let you imagine how convenient it is to identify the functions
activated ...
Bonus unable to make it work in USB and MIDI simultaneously ...
Wholesale 200 euros lost in an impasse and I'm missing to complete
my budget Krome which is a real synthesizer manufactured by a true brand KORG synths!!
In conclusion beware of bargains that are more than
disappointing, we can hardly find a good synth less than 1000 euros
except perhaps that junoDi for low-end model proves to be
an interesting complement (albeit limited) when you already have other instruments at junoDI month he has a neat finish and reliable.

About the editor pc / mac very unstable! Venom on is not always recognized, loading is slow! Despite the latest jours.Beaucoup has bugs.
The Midi Setup is limited, can not configure the "knobs" to control another synth (or I have failed!)

UTILIZATION

Edit painful, this synth is highly dependent on its editor pc / mac
the "performance controllers" are incorrect, turn several times himself encoder reacts to the sound ...

SOUNDS

Sounds bland without surprises.Ne not sound like a good vst with the disadvantages of hardware.

OVERALL OPINION

I had a few days and I soon returned, big déception.J 've already tried the MS2000 (null), pulse (awesome), the JX8P (not bad)
This analog modeling synth has a lot of attention for its sound is called "strippers" with filter "aggressive" and its price fell dizzily ...
To me it sounds like any analog modeling synth has, ie it does not offer anything more than that can offer a vst today! Live game and has no interest as dependent on a computer!

A 500th it was a scam at 200th a bad deal!
I still do not understand the enthusiasm of some for this synth! Apart from the price (?)

200th to better take a triton rack or another kind a waldorf pulse!

positives? It is beautiful, it's true and nice touch keyboard.
