4 analog synth with 2 VCO and LFO, keyboard 44 keys rather correct (large button touch but not enjoyable trs) Waveform triangle / sawtooth / carrcarr modular

A package of controllers and pots.

No MIDI! CV CV + Gate + filter S-Trig, arpgiateur (with trig in).

Polyphony of 4 or 4 Mono by stacking the VCO

Everything must envelloppe, an effects section that can give when you get the tame. Powerful filter.

UTILIZATION

There's no simpler, without turning to the simplistic (the effect is quite bar section), you turn the knob and the sound it out: super fun, there's not one person that I saw the 'esssayer that does not tape over it as IMMEDIATE.

The arpgiatteur is super simple and it's a killing vritable

The manual is clear and available everywhere on the net.

SOUNDS

Ahou is my first analog, so I can not be trs goal, but then in unison mode, by stacking the VCO 4 is the large, very heavy.
It was not a agressivit MS20, but is pure analog. The rsonance may enter into self oscillation, has made excellent FX (I have a good imitation of R2D2 with a)

The effects are quite wild for a novice like me and can give tips trs originals.

Is it really worth to recall the power of the arpgiateur?

The memory of agreement is to create cool environments, but I use some trs.

The little less (which is what the 9 of 10) is that in polyphonic mode, you lose a bit of savagery I find the small, even if we assign little effect VCO 2 for 2 ocillos ( we end up with a synth + effects duophonic). That said for chords is nickel, for large groundwater is a short hair. But that's not its primary function.

OVERALL OPINION

A "dtail": this synth is BEAUTIFUL! but as a beautiful analog must be: blue, srigraphie of quality .. We quickly fell in love.

[edit] I prcise that the sides are not solid wood, chipboard but with a sort of faux wood formica top. Finally it is not ugly but I confess that with varnished wood as a moog, has had more face. A little stinginess of korg. But 25 years after his birth, is always on my own. [/ EDIT]

I was looking for an analog synth for beginners, the monophonic taient too typs for me, the synths FM did not have enough grain, I found my happiness with the MONO / POLY. I always spend evenings tinkering sounds for fun and I can not get enough.

I tried (in the store that's right) with two three bx buy the l. I prfre: the pots (I'm not a fan of the zippers ARP), ergonomics, and many of sr what p ***** arpgiateur who unison mode (the 4 VCO on each other), moves the crowd. Besides the chemical have a brother in their studio and there's two of three at home intro that I clearly identified as coming from a MONO / POLY.

A nice little synth strotyp not as an analog can be, but much more versatile.
