Keyboard 61 keys, trs trs pro and enjoyable the game that reminds me of Roland U 20. (It's not 100% soft, there's a little slap a trs ct fun to play games Piano / Ep). In short it is a strong point of the machine and it's pretty Surprisingly on the entry.
CONTRL level, we find the pitch bend mod Roland, trs convenient for those familiar with the brand. Sr good when you come from Yamaha, one must get used to it a little.
It was the famous D Beam for me that is not used much as the human being is not a dot troisime arm. Anyway I guess plenty of people use it.
The pots in the facade to filter and edit quickly and are a joy vritable can really ring the bbtte as desired. C'tait not an argument for me when buying but now I could do without.

Ct well taken and headphone and LEFT / RIGHT. Hold for a decision pedals. And 2 MIDI only! No Thru, having said that there is a function of the South SOFT THROUGH OUT. But I find really stupid to have the SAVE it.

Its level is the "spquot; usual Roland. More than 640 presets, 20 drum kits, 47 effects and possibilities to affect Reverb, Chorus and its effect on each cross.
64-voice polyphony 16-part.

We have three more functions:
Ryhtme Guide ... a kind of rhythm box / metronome improgrammable whose only interest and lock onto something for work or call. Anyway It's true that from time to time, I found a dresser.
Chord Memory ... A trick mmorisation agree 100% and useless gadget.
And an arpeggiator, which is nice, I think, but if I use very little.
All this comes with a bundle of software on CD Rom 2: a light version of SONAR (SONAR LE) and two soft drinks (An editor, a librarian) who are also on site tlchargableq US Roland.

All at a really low price ... But I remove a congratulations Roland point to the absence of Midi Through!

UTILIZATION

The config is simple trs trs. I have only just used the manual trs. Trs is intuitive but I'm used to from the SERIES of Roland D. .. So I'm not a good guinea pig. I n'dite sounds with the soft or the pots in front (great for live) for passing from page to page on a screen as small, has not made me scared when young but j'tais l ... I must say I got more. In the "wrong damn", the lack of jog wheel and note (I do not like tapping on the buttons). Similarly, there's no sound when you scroll through the patches unlike what you find on korg X. Petit hic also functions only accesible by a keystroke.

SOUNDS

Sounds are many trs but surprise! The Juno D ROMpler more like a keyboard than anything else. There are samples of the sries U, of Canvas, the RS5 editing sauce today. Overall, I find them too punchy and dynamic. But hey that's my opinion. If I had to do by section:
Piano: The sound is pleasant and trs raliste but it's really the home of Roland Roland. This means a round and a rev a bit heavy. Great for the instrumental old (if not classic) or the jazz / blues to pop, but it's not terrible. Those struggling will mail me a little bit, I have a pair of patches that make the thing sound a little SERIES S Yamaha and therefore more about the pop Rock.

The EP: Nice, many people think about the greater good. I find it stunning especially FM lacking heat.

Organs: Too too punchy, lack of vritable hammond.

Battery Kit: Good.

Guitars: Well, realistic and current trs.

Brass: Medium

Orchestra: aa t ever Fort Roland, but a password.

Synth: not original for a bit and then its just a lot of ugly!
Good to be frank, is not the strong point of the machine. Not original, not all Russian.
Still, it is something for every taste and the quality is of the same overall.

Of course, you can edit! But do not expect miracles, the JUNO D JUNO not one, not a D50 but ROMpler. Synthse not really, you can only modify the processing of samples.

Among the stuff a bit irritating, the difference in volume between the patches! Trs annoying to live.

Level expression cons, I find the machine trsrussie. Vritable is a musical instrument and not just a toy technology.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few weeks, what I like about him: The keyboard trs pro (for the home studio) and sounds of good quality (to live) all for just over 3000 balls. Good even when it has also a lot of small defects, the worst is when even his lack of personality. But when you see the price of romplers There's 10 years! This is when even a great plan!
