USE

Then, it's not the synth we buy it on and go. We must go into the architecture of the beast, and cramming the manual in English. Please Mr Jorg has Shaff when a manual in french.
the manual could be more complete ...

SONORITS

I use it with my electro rock group and when we're working with a piece we feel a big difference with what comes out of cubase, the sound is just standard, that's all.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 4 months, I have yet to master the filterbank but fashion is énormissime synth, once you have the maitrises you Capt digital synthesis, analog synthesis, the sequencing and sampling. The speckle II will come out but construczeur will propose an update of the motherboard with 2GB of internal RAM and update the firmware,, strongly more ...

Machine very promising on paper:

a BAR and samplers with the ability to import soundfonts
monophonic analog synth
sequencers
multi-band filter
two delays with pre delay

UTILIZATION

It gets to the point problem:
whether certain features are fairly easily accessible (BAR), the use of analog synthesizers and audio routing is made artificially complex due to ergonomics confusing. VCAs want to put across is good, it is still necessary to use the tool.

SOUNDS

Sounds very good on the BAR
Analog synth ... promising failing to use its capabilities easily
Similarly, different filters (3) by which one can route the sounds are cool but implementation aberrant

OVERALL OPINION

A case study
How to ruin a potential tool because the team, very dynamic moreover, who designed does not have an ergonomist / designer!

For audio output, I use SUM and SUM Left Right. To not Drang The neighbor PHONES. I quickly opt for MIDI IN, story of rgler avoid manually triggers the night, the dark circles. To give the TRANSFR from the PC, the USB will do.

UTILIZATION

Gnrale configuration is not simple. Any fawn, to buy such BCAN must be a bit complicated. As for the manual, it is embryonic (the operating system of synthesis has not yet reached the 1.0: there is a lot of options document, such as the arpeggiator, filters etc ...). Nanmoins, even unfinished, it's a dj machine rve.

SOUNDS

Sounds dchirent. The analog synth, without squenceur (L11 choose to play on all oscillators!) And the rest (groove box etc ...), is a gem. As for all, all "hybrid" is simply a marvel of technology and music.

OVERALL OPINION

Vritable is a bomb. Hermtiques notches to LCD and wait, go your way.

To quote a few opinions on this machine .. previous three years has significantly volubr />
we stay on the same connection SUM L and R outputs spares 1-2,3-4 + + Stereo output for analog synth that has routing laissse place interressants trs ..
level because it still has a single effect for the time delay type c is a ping pong I believe, of very good quality but not ditable (j sper edition that the effects will come with a next Os. . there should be several good effects provided with compression and distortion .... that should be of the same quality as the delay)
software is available to load the sample format for Spectralis

level sequencer were two types of accsa sequenssage but there'll have to write too broadly:
via the sequencer "numric" for one of 11 hand drum with Veloci up to 16 pages per sequence or you can zoom in on 16th, 32th, 48th 96th and 192th ..... enormous for many sequenssage breakbr />
is added is a step by step analog sequencer assignable by 16 lines of sequences with numerous routing, changes in C3, C3 #, D3, D # 3 by a simple rotation of the 16 knobs and endless other functions also .. including as choices:
the filter bank, dsp synth tracks, send notes or MIDI CC on external machine to trigger the synth in ANALOG 1, 2 or 3 ... etc etc ... .. ERGONOMICS really standard !!!!!!! a real bomb ..

UTILIZATION

Machine that is still a very complex if we want to exploit the bte ...
o first glance it is simple but it gets harder when you push a little with the filterbank, the analog synth, the analog sequencer .... etc. but for me .. I adore especially when you see all the possibilities already available and those yet to come with future OS
Manual very well in English and only allemenad

but this machine is really designed for live ..
without any accesible to stop once!

SOUNDS

Really phat analog synth with 4 osc c is the complex part of the machine but which nevertheless remains very accessible, even if some functions of the displacement of 26 pages is neccessaire ... c has to say!
otherwise very good quality filters and signal processing for DSP synths

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a year and a half I play it and I am far from having been around the beast especially cot filter bank and analog synth, but c is a real pleasure to edit this BCAN ...

J have tried many machines before this one did ... really nothing to do .. it's a real bomb ..
al epoque j've sold a lot of my stuff for me and the chopper I have no regrets ...
there is still much to come with the next OS for which registration can overdub, the finalization of the MIDI OUT and lots of other surprises .....!!
Be patient and waiting for good sound is already so much to do!

2 in
8 out
twelve o'clock triplet
USB for importing samples, update the OS ...

1 large mono synth hybrid 4 osc
3 synth dsp
Drum machine
filter bank etc ... (See other reviews)

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is not simple but is quite affordable if one agrees to spend time. The Bécanne is ergonomic, clear menus (except for some cryptic abbreviations). The manual is not yet complete, but there is need for the grip (and not necessarily even if you know about ...)

SOUNDS

The advantage of this machine is here. The main synth (hybrid analog / digital mono) is a real massacre. Personnellemnt I use it to make Eletro experience. Both the Bécanne groove box can be used to make conventional electro and techno, as it can generate sounds extreme, tortured, unusually complex ... We can get out of low guturales, the sibilants the eardrums cutting into slices, you can also get distorted sounds without using any effect ... The synthesis engine is huge and the slow evolution of the internal OS does absolutely no work deepens. If effects are on the menu for the next update of the OS (comp-limit-disto. .. it will really hurt!) Can largely do without. This machine sounds even in the dry. She really has a strong identity. Not to mention the opportunities offered by the morfing mix and the modulation matrix. (Anything can pass through the filters of the synth-H or the filter bank (sequence) ... anything goes. Presets have, no interest for my taste (despite their quality) is a machine for who wants to work with sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

it's been three years since I use it. I never heard a groovebox that sounds like this machine. And I rarely used a synthesizer as powerful and original (except for some old classics ...) It is a machine with a strong identity that may well serve as Bécanne 'standart' but develops its full potential in research . So sometimes I think I still have 10 years to go around (in the end, despite its price, this machine will eventually be very economical).

The construction is robust, the sound is huge, the possibilities are endless ...

Modular monophonic synthesizer with 4 + 3 osc synth dsp digital polyphonic sample based rhythm tracks + 11 (dsp-based samples) + two analog filters + sequencer (groove edit sequence edit +) + Filterbank
Everything is modular or almost.

See the website for details radikal. Frankly

UTILIZATION

complex. You really have to study the manual page by page. Those who know already sound synthesis will necessarily faster. It said the manual is really good. Shaped lessons he quietly around the machine, giving the essential keys. Ultimately this machine is really well done and everything is quickly accessible and logical. Once the basic knowledge acquired can be created quickly and it sounds live. At the same time studying the manual every day it keeps more surprises in moving surprises about the possibilities.
Over the 3 DSP synths and rhythm tracks are easy to implement so we can also begin to create without necessarily understand everything.

SOUNDS

A true wonder. The sound is super-cool. Cà défouraille in all directions. It goes from more serious than acute peacefully, easily, naturally. The possibilities are immense. The filters are pure jewels besides the Filterbank is crazy. This is the kind of instrument that will be used for very long.

OVERALL OPINION

This machine has a soul, as may have a piano or violin, and sometimes the full moon, it begins to react alone ...
