Trs plastoc keyboard and noisy it looks like a toy
-Lots of controllers in all directions and twelve o&#39;clock if he please, but against super fragile notament pitch bend is a small plastic stick handle not practical, it is far from Roland. on the other hand I have ever Russian the squence my cubase crashed totally - problem of buffer on the neuron seems, APRS information. Depending on paramtres can also hear the clicks of the bearings.
- 6 audio outputs for surround sound to listen (although this method is somewhat impractical, we will see why later)
- Hlas connection with the mac / pc is only done via ftp (with a USB / ethernet) to transfer the samples and we have to wait and wait because once you put your sounds in the &#39;buffer &#39;the hard drive must be imported in the&#39; user &#39;of the same hard drive (!), all this is too long and tedious trs. The plug-in VS compared is infinitely faster since &#39;it must be that a drag & drop.
It is expected the software to manage the sounds, but eventually the dveloppement s&#39; arretbr /> If the worst for me is the loading time of samples every time you change the sound, sometimes more than 3 minutes to move from a low one piano! In comparison I plug is almost instantaneous. I have the dye neuron when I was mistaken in the choice of certain sounds, do not want to wait several minutes.
The polyphony is extremely variable depending on the number of oscilloscope utiliss (1 or 2) and also the quality of analysis models (samples). But we do all 8 channels Exceeds see Figure 4 for the rich sounds. The more I am perplexed to have read in some pubs the era that the neuron could be between 16 and 48 voice polyphony. The hard Ralite this limitation leads multitimbral mode (setup) to oblivion. Now that is with him that we gre surround, but do the math: If you have three surround sound in a max of 8 notes polyphony in all, how many notes you play? nothing! just one or two that will be cut if you play a 3rd lol
One last point, the neuron makes noise all the time (big fan), forcing up the volume ...

UTILIZATION

Yes, the config is very simple because everything has its paramtre knob, similar to edit the sounds, the manual is quite simple but dpend of the person&#39;s bed. A beginners&#39; s will lose no doubt.

The Drout synthse enough, there are lots of names paramtres sometimes incongruous and do not always sound good trs. We often feel with a resonator to hack core (of the oscilloscope also called the neuron resynator lol). The most interresting is the blender that allows to apply the CHARACTERISTICS of a sound one another. But the quality of the sound sometimes reminds me of a bad mp3. Fortunately the effects are!
The machine is made for foncirement based mono sound (impossible to analyze a sample Stereo), one trick is to analyze the cot and then left the cot right then gather them in the blender Stereo mode, but you hold the property, we can not filter out the sounds! exit the high pass or low pass. Ms. sampler base is 100 euros.

- To work its own sounds, you must turn hlas a mac or pc to analyze the samples and put the size of the neuron. A shame to get the synth to a cache that the components of a PC. I think hartmann prvu had to make since the keyboard intgre independent audio inputs, but they were never in the software implementations.

SOUNDS

The sounds are not really ralistes the multisamples are somewhat catastrophic, the following are trs done wrong, but that is such inhrent synthse. Any Manir this is not the purpose of this synth. Better from the Discoveries of new sounds.

Despite resynthse, the neuron is not done for playing a loop or a line mlodique without changing speed as the Roland VP9000, or the V-synth. Finally, if there is a mode (8) but the quality is pouvantable, the sound has the air of having been a hideous stretch + 16kbps mp3 encoding. It is thundering especially when you consider that the designer of the neuron was released by Prosoniq a stretch / pitch shifteur trs of good quality. But it can be a problem there was power in the neuron to do it in real time of low trs o RESOLUTION analysis of samples in order not to load too much processor (a celeron)

The multi-effect integration is trs good quality for a standalone synth, and participates in Manir trs active to make up for weaknesses in the sound engine of the neuron. If you ever have one on hand, have fun off the effects (the 5 switches on the top right) and you will understand the discomfort.
Those who love the sounds in the noys rverbe definitely love this synth.

OVERALL OPINION

I have had the Neuron keyboard for 1 year. A beautiful object that I rvais trs intuitive to own, but in the end I use version prfre plug in (which sounds less&#39; shears and 20 voice polyphony on Intel dual core), the Roland V-Synth and Metasynth To create original sounds.

Neuron of the fan is too noisy for studio work, after 15h that is tiring
