All user reviews for the Alesis A6 Andromeda

Ridiculous, it synth.je've tried one hour, cutting effects (metal) it remains nothing.

I have a juno60 that crude ss chorus sounds 3 times bigger.
I prefer him even my BIT99, which has a fabulous fishing (Curtiss filters).

is NAZE and it costs (secondhand) the price of a juno + a + jx matrix6 a prophet or a 1000 + 600 + an odyssey or source.
it does not even enremplace correctly.

AC wrong or what? h Alesis there's a zero too!

go your way.

USE

Naze.plein of stuff that are useless and rotting sound

10 becaufe side buttons, they lachs.on looks like it has a virus (but actually no, the virus is bcp better) ...

SONORITS

Well its true rhapsody.le elka costing 16 times cheaper outside ca ....

the sound is flat END (static).

no life, no emotion.

it looks like a player of samples.

has a d50 buttons. (and again, the D50 has a potato has cot !!)

NOTICE GLOBAL

I do pas.c'est used like a Ferrari with a kart engine in it.

tests in stores, 2 times a month gap.
was trying on different monitors, the headphone, the owner of pmagasin not enrevenait! I think it's still persuaded that the synth is defectueux.l'etage output anyway.

unsaleable.

nothing has to see is that the only synth decote all seul.on easily find a new one under warranty shop, cheaper than its rating secondhand !!!
it is worth less than new opportunity!

germany has musistor they have the Brades has 1400 euros in vpc ds throughout europe.
they have all the same set one month to sell them.
that price was a virus or not obxa.y'a photo.surtout if you count resell one day.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Come on Come on, please, arrtons compare the Andromeda and the virus ... What first virus? I do not even see how a brain (and ears) normally constitus can find similarities between these two machines ... Why not compare and say that is better than Bourbon Whisky? (Hips to your health. In any case it is very good for s'chauffer voice, but ... we digress)
For me who bought my A6 in November 2002, I never t a course IDE with this machine. We can REALLY go very far, even though he may be accused lot of mistakes in taste presets ...
In my case they are almost all reprogramms (use it, of course)
With the addition of a PCMCIA card 2MB, I do not see the end of my programming ...
There is no need to use your little finger to speak ill effects, it is well understood that a is not the specialty of the andromeda (nor indeed Alesis lol) ...
When was the arpeggiator, with some effort he shows rather docile ...
I sincerely think that this is a very successful the machine into the 21 century widely finds its place among the major references of analog synthesis Modern.

What type of keyboard (piano synth ...)? How many octaves?
andromeda

What type controllers (pitch, modulation, sustain ...)?
What connection (Audio, MIDI, pedals ...)?
How many sounds, effects? What styles? Are they ditables?
Via a Mac utility / PC?
What polyphony? ...dropoff Window

I own the last 4 years it's really easy to use synth !!


USE

Is Gnrale setup simple?
The edition of sound effects or is it easy?
Is the manual clear and sufficient? ...dropoff Window

I almost never opened the manual, except for programing a sound or it is better to open the manual, not delete other programes !! I wish I can be the screen: it is not very readable and practical shame.


SONORITS

The sounds they agree your style of music?
GPs are they?
Are the effects effective and ADAPTS?
Expression is it good? (Raction vlocit the aftertouch)?
What sonorits you prfrez, you dtestez? ...dropoff Window

the sounds are great, clean, do not hand against abuse of arpege, it often breaks a can of majestic Andromeda, the effects are good and easy to use as filters


NOTICE GLOBAL

How long have you use it?
What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
How do you report qualitprix?
With experience, you do again this choice? ...dropoff Window
I use it for about 4 years, I buy when he vennai out, I compar with others such as super nova novation II there is no doubt the sound is much cleaner and nikel, the price is justified, and not even too expensive for a synth of this type, knowing that the price of this monster argus grinp risk because it does this more !! if you do not seek esit !! purchase !! you're not going regretted

What is expensive is not the machine itself, but the functional coverage that can be drawn in relation to existing digital and digital solutions.

Concerning the characteristics, I deliver what can not easily find on the net.
I put some good and bad surprises.
-There is no possibility to modulate the level modulations themselves.
-It is not possible to combine the effects, the list is at best pre-configured totals (eg chorus + reverb hall not possible, you chorus + room imposed) by against pre-configured effects are very well measured, every time I'm near the ear income defaults, suddenly now I touch it except under extreme circumstances. (Better see this as a way to channel self not do anything on the effects).
-There is a mix effect, but can be assayed against the send programmatically in the mix.
(I say ca, because this is not the case for the Oberheim OB12 (450 euros), for which I often make the comparison)
-It is possible to modulate filter 1 with fm and noise or external audio or feedback
It transposes chord part and a side of the mod wheel is not registered in the programs
There is no legato button, go in envelopes and specify per envelope.
I have 2 voice 16 more "fragile" than the other, after 3 hours of use they are beginning to détunent despite the baktun on (roughly for that unit testing even after 15 minutes of voice warm enough not detect fragile voice, but I think I'm in the middle of the current andromeda)
-Opportunities to arp and seq same time! possibility of arp chord mode, that the chord notes + (with a sharp attack, it can make arpeggiés pads in one program!)
-The volume of different waveform of osc is not controllable (a square distinguished from the others)

UTILIZATION

I contradict all those who are taking intricate hand (average exploration one month)!
80% of the features were explored in half a day!

I also contradict those who deplore the ergonomics, I find it very logical and easily understandable.

There are still a few things a little difficult.
-Knobs are subject to extreme setting and it is difficult to achieve a precise value
sometimes pressing the two arrows at the same time help, but it does not work all the time
(Eg the keytracking it takes 50 or 0, then we would like the other value )
-The fact that by some knobs at least do not attain their value not 0, suddenly compelled to finish with the arrow ...
Sham-generated by the knob for selecting the source matrix whose position is proportional to the last use, you can see the list, it is believed that is a side button on the knob and, well, we were not far ...


The real difficulty is rather on making knowledge of the behavior of the synth itself, for example be used to assay the filters (for it must know their sounds and have experience many situations). Thus, I have not managed to create formant alone, I had to go see the famous patch mod wheel yeah.
As a result,
Do not hesitate to see the presets manufacturers, there learning a lot.

The number of possibilities is that synthetic method can be easily lost when still too tough to achieve his goal.
You really need to know channel and keep it simple, the complexity must be requested last spring.

SOUNDS

So, is that it sounds FAT, that gives 100% analog fat?
Needless to say this is the first test I did
A bite of gang saw with 16 votes (* 2osc and few sub) solicited and detuned with onions ... (long live the stack unison mode, a nice surprise that I adore )

I have not compared with digital
I just compared it with my Oberheim OB12.

As surprising as it may seem, it sounds not fatter!
(For those who have doubts, I will not go dead hand ...)

on the other hand I think it sounds more "authentic" (this is the best word that can come to mind), it is as if it was more "real". It is difficult to describe.

This "authenticity" a huge impact on ... The game sensation!
The pleasure felt generates inspiration, we are surprised to play chords, modulations to do that would never "dare"! and it happens!

Versatility side, I've had two weeks, I made about 30 patches.
While I'm pretty tablecloth, this synth force you hand a little to go to guitar oriented sound.
Due to the volume of non-controllable waveforms, I struggled to make an organ sound, I used the chord octave to get out ... Average. (I retenterai)
In general, I find it less versatile than the Oberheim OB12 ... for now, because my learning curve is not finished.
Today I come to a more realistic piano sound (for my taste) that the famous Frankensteinway, which proves that the machine has under the hood ...

OVERALL OPINION

I know that two weeks is a bit early to give an opinion.
I think this is the time it takes to pass the phase of "regret" related to price / versatility.
At one point I hesitated for a prophet 08.
Now, I could not do without some features like stack unison mode that allows you to play as many notes as you want with the 16 votes squatted.
I have not tried the multi timbral (just did a test to confirm the use)
it me more personal patch need to be able to do.
I have not tried to make drum and bass patch.
Being rather greedy on the unison (I often met 3, which reduces the polyphony 5)
suddenly I hesitate to buy a Solaris

On paper, the characteristics and 16 voice polyphony can impress. In real life, what to do with all these sources and modulation destinations, especially since it is difficult to have a clear vision. 16 tracks, it's nice, but should not make a mountain. I finally, who can do more can do less. We are not obliged to use it.

UTILIZATION

The panel config Andromeda is great. But this synth is so developed should be much more than a small LCD screen to navigate menus and access to all parameters. He has a consistent manual (200 + pages) but it is not very well done. This is something for technicians, not for musicians. As long as we remain in use 'classic', the sound editing is simple and clear. on the other hand, to really use all the mysteries of Andro, must cling. Furthermore, I have never found that creating and editing multi was simple. This is frankly not the feet.

SOUNDS

There's pros and there's cons. No doubt that this synth can make good sound. May even be that in terms of sources, it is unbeatable. on the other hand, you will turn into sharp programmer. Indeed, the architecture of this synth is very complex, including the configuration of filters that can be combined in countless ways through the modulation matrix.
The drawback I see the Andromeda is that all these possibilities of its programming are not simple to implement, it is rather frustrating. Especially since the Andro suffers two major shortcomings: the 4-pole filter (24 dB) is disappointing. The 12db is great, and a real character. It's not like the Oberheim and that's fine. But then 24db, I find it dull. Luckily, these two filters are combined allowing the sharp programmer to make beautiful things. But must hang! The second biggest problem I find with Andro is that bcq lack of fishing. Without even going to compare to a Moog is not a synth slap. Finally, do not expect much of sub-osc.

OVERALL OPINION

After two years of living with my Andro, we separated. I was happy but I do not regret. It is an experience to do, and can be successful if you are willing to spend nights in the program. I find the current very high price occasion.

analog synthesizer. One of the last undoubtedly powerful and probably the most complete analog.

UTILIZATION

Of course, as this machine can do everything in the field of analog synthesis it takes some time to adapt to learn. But at the same time nothing to repel someone really passionate synthesis.

SOUNDS

I was most impressed by the sounds of this synth when I saw him again in the same all sounds a moog modular used by wendy carlos Back to switch on or Clockwork Orange.
He can do it but it can also many other things.
difficult to say that the sound can not please as it can go in all registers sometimes radically opposed.
At versatility I've never heard anything like it.

OVERALL OPINION

Unquestionably that Alesis has produced better with Micron (in emulation this time) and I would go even further by saying that this is perhaps the most comprehensive and well thought analog synthesizers ever product. It cost so expensive in development to achieve the result that I doubt there is another one.

subtractive analog synthesizer with a modulation matrix for the least complex.

UTILIZATION

good when it's not complicated ç'est bug and not mine bugait all the time, after all assignments to understand more or less fanciful matrix.

I find incomprehensible the sequencer, I also find the internal computer very badly done.

the interest of this machine is 16 multitimbral separate parties at the rear by 16 mono outputs and this is a concept pro and analog

SOUNDS

Good effects and unnecessary shit, you put effects in all VA synths, the Virus Ti ones such sound great and are effective.

They wanted an integrated reverb and echoes rotten in analog, they could at least have integrated DSP digital effects allowing to have good quality, but good (Alesis and quality) so you have to cut the effects of this machine and through external processing as is done for all analog synthesizer.


fantasize about what it is the analog side of the unit, so the sound moves and is not stable and yes it brings something, after mine on top of that is désacordait on certain sounds and it sounded false and that against that party was by bugs.


Synth is good for me is very beautiful tablecloths after the rest, you can go out in a sound mind sound, make a beautiful sound viloncelle of violin or harpsichord, for example, the complexity of filters allows it.

this instrument is very sensitive to fine adjustments, the LFOs are not stable which allows precisely to create a more natural timbre.

the oscilloscope sound great, you have a sinus and all the synths do not.
you will see the analog side in you realizing a sine or parable does not filter, the waves pile up and it is precisely to create more complex patches.

This instrument can be very surprising and is very hard to master I think, because sound moves much

OVERALL OPINION

do not make a machine collection,
and then to make gaffes bugs for those that are bought all that crazy in the air.

It will deserve a synth version of the computer matrix with two improved, it is because this brand is more continuous than the price rises.

I did not have a version that works normally, my view is affected.

TONS of features! In terms of actual synthesis, the number of sound-mangling features is enormous and very satisfying. Just about anything can modulate just about anything else. Sub oscillators are great. There are a couple of features that I miss, though: no random arpeggiation, and no "smoothed-random" LFO. (Access calls it "sample-and-glide.") You might be able to replicate that using an LFO to modulate another LFO, or using a tracking generator on the S&H. More destinations for the sequencer would be great, too. There is a SERIOUS problem, though...at least on the one I bought new in November 2008: the mod wheel doesn't stay where I put it when the synth is on an angled stand. My synth is on the second tier of a stand, angled toward me so that I can get to the controls easily from a sitting position. When I push the mod wheel forward any less than about 75%, it falls back to starting position as soon as I let go. That doesn't work for me at all. Built-in effects are fine--you might want to use better effects if you're a professional in a recording studio, home-studio and gigging musicians can get a lot of the built-in effects. Expansion via ancient and expensive PCMCIA cards. Be careful, though! You have to get just the right card or it won't work, and details are not forthcoming on the Alesis site or in the manual.

UTILIZATION

The Andromeda has loads of knobs so its a joy to program. However, this synth is very complex and is not as obvious as some other analogue polysynths. I have been playing synths for 10 years and the Andromeda makes me feel a bit amature. But the huge number of knobs makes up for its complexity and means you can create complex sounds with ease. I must point out, every time you turn a knob a menu pops up on the display screen. So there is more to the Andromeda than the 72 knobs and 144 buttons point out! This synth is analogue heaven.

SOUNDS

Sound is somewhere inbetween from virtual synths and analogue synths. Not 100% analogue feel, still better than VA. There are useable sounds, but most of them are better on real synths. For some productions it might work, but some VA are so good (Like Virus) that there is no sense to have problematic analogue synth like this one. Sound is not its strongest point (like tweakability and control), but not bad to completelly forget it. Kind of compromise. Effects are not very good to my ears, part of sound is lost in digital conversion what is huge pitty.

OVERALL OPINION

Beautiful synth that sounds fantastic. (I'm so glad it doesn't try to tap into people's nostalgia with wood or faux-wood end cheeks!) I just couldn't deal with the malfunctions, so I returned it. It's a pity. I got a DSI Prophet 08 instead--less powerful, but also sounds great and comes with a better reputation for reliability and customer support. Pity.

Sacr analog synth with a keyboard 16 votes to 5 octaves, a system of modular matrix 67,000 types of modulation possible, with a panel that gives access not prt everything must be easily accessible, and if ever should go to sub menus lcd screen, it is possible to locker to keep the window always these parameters directly accessible! At noon, 1in, 1out, 1thru, 1in pedal cc, in a sustain, in a switch. A CV input for oscillator and a cv to inpout filtre.Audio: A hand stereo output, 8 stereo outputs, auxiliary 2Quit, 2 audio inputs to the board in filters and effects house! 3 (2 user and an internal factory banks of 128 sounds each named "Program" and used in 3 banks (2 user ditables and a factory, the factory bank can not be modified) internal "mix": Cumulative performance for up to 16 programs, each program can be mono or poly knowing that this little synth can produce only 16 sounds at the same time, arrangements are inclus.Les effects alesis, all except the digital distortion . Cumulative performance can be two effects which mainly consists of classic effects: delay, chorus, flanger, reverb and effects mix 2 prcits rich parameterization but with inconvniants such as speed delay not synchronizing with the tempos, to save an effect you have to use a program, it is unfortunate that there have not only bank to rescue the effects ... It is possible to save all or some memory in sysex bank, some bugs with cubase, but works with midi-ox and there is still a slot for memory cards. updater can be the OS (which is also not to dpourvus bugs) by sysex. andromeda The analog is a 16 voice polyphonic, but not multitimbral.

UTILIZATION

As it is written in the manual, it achte this kind of machine for life, it never ceases to discovering, it is vast, explorable, and at the same time while the door of the hands, one who knows about the analog synthse will quickly capt for another is an excellent teacher synthse analog, a flower for each knob graphic appears on the LCD screen with anything need to know about the area addresses: graph for vcf, vcr, vco, ADSR filters, oscillators and amplification. Do not use my mind as andro squenceur whatever it possde a minimum but trs, for against the arpgiateur is fun. Personally I think the manual is great andromeda crit, you feel the love machine derire the pen of one that the criterion is not a bedside book, but in the genus I thought he had a little Posie! As against a friend that is offered and a lot galr for this book in French, I'll try to scan and make available one of these four!

SOUNDS

In such a pure sound, it's hard to beat, even the sound chips have an incredible grain, the paradox is that hardware has so much air that could be a doubt of the concrete acoustic instrument ... but we are not in the same universe, it is here that science fiction is that the rel Ralite ... For what it is whether the sounds are suitable music I ask myself almost the opposite question: Should not I see my concept of sound and music in such a prsence bbte!
I'm not a keyboardist but before buying it I read reviews about the keys and saying they just taient lgres, for my part that I do not drang ....

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a year that I acquired this bike and I feel and I did not understand why only I am a fan, the harshest criticism I can make are related the OS can feel the mania for throwing machine not over yet on the market and we see if the sale APRS worth amliorer the system. But the I trust, I feel a qu'alesis CRER wanted a mythical machine, moog andother worthy of the great names of the synthse.De any machine that I purchased c 'is the one that I regret the least, no doubt I reclaque these sub!!

Ridiculous, synth.je have tried one hour, cutting effects (metal) there is nothing.

I juno60 a chorus that sounds gross ss 3 times larger.
I prefer even my BIT99, which has a hell of sin (Curtiss filters).

it sucks, and it cost (used) the price of a juno + jx + matrix6 or a 1000 + 600 + a prophet or an odyssey source.
there not even a n'enremplace correctly.

ca wrong or what? alesis hey There's a zero too!

go your way.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not use pas.c is like a Ferrari with an engine in kart.

I do not exchange against this thing, or if I can sell it and buy a 2000 analos more balls (yeah, long live the plug ins!)
OVERALL RATING: 2 as the math lycee.on can survive without the andromeda maths.sans ausii.passons.

This is an analog vritable 16-voice polyphony and multitimbral filters all sauces, CONTRL all custom settings in faade and moreover trs organiss wisely. Section effects, excellent workmanship, is not synchronized to the tempo, ok ... but would blame him for having criticized a Ferrari suspension too firm. The south is more than implmentation complte. Design and breathtaking ... Not to mention the array of CONTRL parameter.

UTILIZATION

The manual (in English ...) is very well organized and I really can aid understanding of the standards of the craft. Once you understand the logic of the machine, you just let your imagination to the delight of your ears. Résumé can be in one word: fun.

SOUNDS

Here we go ... how a sound? Well dear friends, this synth is a marvel. Love the sound, let you go without hsiter, you will not be due, he can be soft and round and whenever you wish DSIR, it becomes fat and ... rch The bomb! And when it comes to modules with (among others) the band ultra-efficient, the Andromeda comes to life!
User presets, go your way, this machine is not for you.

OVERALL OPINION

We must spend time on this machine to realize its potential standard. I possde recent months, and every day I love him a little more. So hard to be objective when you love. But I am convinced that if you want a machine that produces electronic sounds timeless, ergonomic, and characters with an almost total CONTRL, the Adromede is for you!

- What type of keyboard (synth, piano ...)? How many octaves?
- What controllers (pitch, modulation, sustain ...)?
- What connection (Audio, MIDI, Pedal ...)?
- How many sounds, effects? What styles? Are they edited?
- Via a utility Mac / PC?
- What is polyphony? ...

There is enough information around for the characteristics of AF on this synth not to repeat

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is it simple? there are actually some time to understand the signal path but then that's fine.

- Publishing of sound effects or is it easy? Well yes, for once, the buttons and between the synth are here for.

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ... The mamuel is in French and very well done

SOUNDS

- The sounds they are suitable to your style of music? For my part, I make music new age, when I hold on other synths out of the A6 I'm getting the gutter and from roads to other contingencies.

- Are they realistic? This synth is designed to make the synth: the sound is awesome !!!!!!!!!!!! Bosendorfer
- The effects are they effective and responsive? The effects are an integral part of its many services and make
- The expression is good? (Response to velocity, aftertouch to)? excellent
- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate ...?
I hate all sounds too aggressive and I love all the tablecloths and Seq. Qq lead are also fantastic

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it? I have this synth for 6 months time it takes the minimim to go around, not the other charlot below which advises trying the A6 an evening with friends: To stop arpeggiator, you have to press stop arpeggio in the top left. I do not know what should have been marked for such understanding. Can be shut off switch to stop the arpeggiator as stop and stop working an evening with friends.
There's a whole bunch of bugs listed?? And then! This is part of the charm of the bike. The Polymoog came out with nearly 400 recorded failures, this does not prevent him from being a very good synth.

This synth has a genuine personality, coucougnettes, which is rare nowadays. The sound is really good.

- What is so special that you like most and least? The best: the controllers, the look, the recall of certain sounds with the moog 55 seq. The least: nothing. And the more I really do not want to sell my bike
- Have you tried many other models before buying it? I had and I still have tons of synth. This one is high on my list (with the Farfisa 510 MKII tried with friends one minute)
- How would you rate the quality / price? at the new price (from 2400 euros instead of 4500 to exit) excellent. A former taken is another matter
- With experience, you do again this choice? ... It is clear, although the stop of the arpeggiator, must see!!

I think there is enough information around about the CHARACTERISTICS of the little jewels.

UTILIZATION

Simple over the power of the BTE can CRER new patches trs quickly, sometimes in one minute, starting from an existing patch I lay a sound compltement indict.
The edition of the effects is a little less ergonomic, but for my part I do not use them or not so ... trs
Manual clear and sufficient.
It is true that there are some bugs but really nothing serious ca does not hinder the use of the instrument. There will always be those who will mind too critical, there are critics of having amme possible hands over half an hour is enough pathtique ....

SOUNDS

In fact the sounds are suitable all styles of music is sr ca ...
The quality is really excellent, heat, motion, sound power uncommon, agressivit if necessary, at its one word to finish: GENIAL! (And I work without the internal effects).
I do not understand how one can say that the sound of this musical instrument is rel ... mdiocre

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 2 years and I never tire of it all, I still love best, I can say I have a lot of synths possd in my life and I ' I 42, I have a juno SE1 and 106 as true analos time I had a PRO ONE squential circuits, like all the old analog but none gave me as much power cr ative motions and the A6.
I would do this once a choice plutt 2, a wonder!

Analog Vritable 16 votes, 16 midi channels, 16 outputs indpendantes, all buttons and shipments reoivent MIDI, perfect management of analogue self tuning thanks to short, is the top of over time and not too expensive for 2250 euros in nine!

UTILIZATION

The sound is magic! The management changes occillateurs trs simple modular perfect mimic the full range of legendary analog keyboards moog roland up, it's simple I never had the hands for 15 years that I play keyboard synths as enjoyable to the ear, so used to the analog modlisation I am surprised what you can do with a true analogue is the day and night, more I did not need to serve me the manual so the interface is effective, short but happiness ..

SOUNDS

The original patch trs are bad, it can be for that synth that did not have succsmrit and a more expensive price trs has its output, but now it is available for those who You Save a little and sells his old stuff. APRS 2, 3 days of programming I bahie of feedback, the quality of sound and easy to obtain the desired sound, so a 10 out of 10
The AndroMDA IDAL is the instrument to find the sounds of the 80s and so infinite.

OVERALL OPINION

For the price, quality, design, concept, sound, ergonomics, ease and precision in programming this synth is a no-fault can be finally synthesized in my life ?, a synth out mode more than perfect.

And no this is not the synth of my life ... because I sold it to buy a Radias

Next-Generation Synthtiseur true analogy is - ie without the son of everywhere and the problem of temprature (because it includes an automatic tuner)

Here's what appears to me as the most important CHARACTERISTICS of the machine:

Multitimbral: 16 channels
Polyphony: 32 notes

For each channel:
2 oscillators
5 basic waveforms superimposed
3 + customizable LFO Sample & Hold (to take as "LFO" a signal of sampled)
Mix prfiltres and post-filter
A high-pass filter, band pass and low pass (the 3 choices stackable) 12 dB, formulation Oberheim
A low pass filter 24 dB, Moog formulation
3 Amplitude Envelope, Filter and Pitch (both assignable dernires as something else) trs compltes (Delay, double Decay, Sustain, Release double, many forms are available for each part)
Arpgiateur & squence 16 vnements full trs
Portamento
2 assignable knobs
Ribbon Controller endless (nearly 60 cm!)
Multi-Effects ultra-complete (many reverbs, chorus, delay Fully editable)

Rtro display light (a bit small but I got full trs)
Keyboard 61 keys with aftertouch ballast
3 pedals or other input to Controller
MIDI implmentation complte
Audio inputs: 5
Audio outputs: Stro main and auxiliary audio outputs or 16 indpendantes
MIDI implmentation complte

VERY IMPORTANT POINT: All SETTING THE basis for sound synthse (paramtres oscillators, filters, and mix prfiltres are accessible by a post-filter for large buttons facade, like the good old synth s modular -> a button to a function, making the report the machine quite sensitive and intuitive.

Second important point: each element of synthse sound can be modulated by all the other MIDI + through Controller or squenceur. It is in the spirit modular synths, and less clutter (even if the machine does not carry under your arm: 22 kilos!)

My only complaint: the buttons are not infinite, which can be moved when Gnant and that charging a sound you want to change, live by example. But I'm like a real gnral Whereas enc ***** flies and honntement has trsngligeable remains as default, then the 10 needed! !

UTILIZATION

For someone like me who never touch the synthse analog, the handling is fast enough t (twenty hours), notably thanks to the manual which is trsp gogical and navigable.

As I said prcdemment, the edition of sounds is made by the many trs intuitive buttons facade, which does not prevent to dig a little into the machine using the display and countless menus!

As for the use in a MIDI environment, and home studio audio type has its own sliding, thanks to MIDI implmentation complte and 16 outputs for downstream with a large mixer, process each sound indpendamment.

So of sr is more complicated to use a synth with numrique sound bank, but put on glasses bifocals is often the price to pay for his paw sound! So deuxime 10.

SOUNDS

The analog can Manir CRER emptied of all the sounds you want, always with the warmth and roundness inimitable. Tablecloths, riffs, bass, weird noises, with legs as DIFFERENT CHARACTERISTICS styles as House, Techno, Breakbeat, New Age, Electronica, and so on ... Quite simply, since I was the Andromeda, whenever j'coute electronic music, I tell myself that I can reproduce all the synth sounds I hear!

The low hum, filters shout when you push for some sounds we hear almost feel the breath bte ... I rarely does so impressed with the quality sound of a machine. It's deadly! 10 + + +
PS: Do not rely on primarily small sound clips available on some websites instrument sales, it is the factory sounds, particulirement sloppy and we will replace tt made by his ...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this synth two months ago and I have the distinct impression that it will serve me all my life. I do not see myself buying another any time soon, this will be my basic instrument for the whole part of my Młoda production. Premire is my big machine, it is CHRE trs (almost 2,500 euros) but worth every penny.

It is my opinion on bulk synthesis of references for at least 10 years ahead, perfect blend of modern and ancient. If c'tait again? YES!

Thus:
(10 + 10 + 10) / 3 = ...... 10
