4 analog synthesizer tracks, refer to the DSI website for technical specifications.

UTILIZATION

Config ultra clear in a few minutes, we understand the logic of the synth, it has almost everything at hand. It is a function button (last two with the shift key). I found it very nice to get sounds with.
The manual is succinct but clear, even if it is in English.
The issue is simple if subtractive synthesis is known.

SOUNDS

The factory sounds are not bad, but you do not buy a synth presets to use I think. They are quite varied in any case.
No effects except for a feedback.
We can make the old tablecloths, atmospheres to carpenter, arpeggios cool and demented sequences, these are the sounds I like. Otherwise faux brass and rhodes is not my thing.
My goal is to make percussive sounds with, for now I galley.
Aftertouch nickel.
Level of "low" output rather, it is a bit annoying.

OVERALL OPINION

I then used the past two weeks notice should be used with caution, but there must be a first.
I have a waldorf pulse (a killing) but nothing good to see what is mono, poly as I frequently use the microkorg, C virus, ms 2000 as the single MS 20, SH 101, SE1X. I rapprocherai sounds and use of the morpho C virus, I do not perceive well the analog side, but it will come I hope. We can do some pretty fat sounds but it is not the role that I will give him, I think the other aforementioned mono do 10 times better. By against groundwater, atmosphere, effects are really fun to create.
Best: poly modern, compact, not "too" expensive and reliable (I hope), Swiss Army knife style keyboardist (I bought it)
The least: output level a bit feeble, no volume control of separate oscilloscope, it is a mix knob and I do not not like it, an editor very clear to the management of banks. And especially the negative is for the game not fully configurable keyboard (note the higher or lower ...) and it fills me harsh on a keyboard of this price.
With experience, I'll have a studio electronics code if I could afford it :-). No, of course I do it again the same choice because attractive price performance ratio, and the code it will be in another life!
