UTILIZATION
Touching the keyboard:
Report qualitprix excellent!
For example, I had a Clavia Nord Electro I found my good level.
Perfect for my use (beginners in computer music / guitarist I)
Configuration:
I have a MacBookPro 2.4 / 2Gb live + 7 (I have also received) and everything is dj pr-configured for him. Ditto for: reason, dfb, cubase, sonar, arturia, fxpanbfd and guru, ...
Select MIDI channels
As mentioned above, I really computer music beginners. (Guitarist with multitrack cassette, to tell you)
I know nothing: both keyboard in MIDI, configuration, ... I know dj and sound out, assign the volume effect, boot loops, ... DIFFERENT to buttons. It's super simple.
I have read on this forum, a problem with noise levels between DIFFERENT patches. By this point the report I can not tell you, but I'll DSOL dwell.
Manual:
One startup is in print and in French.
The other in English in pdf. I have written for in French but it is not yet available.
OVERALL OPINION
4 days. I am not to post an opinion, too quickly, especially when I do mastering a small part (and the same is not my area). But hey, it s just go out and not think so I tell myself as my own, no matter how small, could still be used even.
+ Learning: Fast, Easy, Fun (can be as Ableton Live and thanks leons) In any case recommend to beginners!
+ Trs trs touch keyboard really well.
Look + / manufacturing quality: it really does not "tinker" or "plastic" as in the photo / no comparison with the axiom that it is tinkering.
- Touch pads: I still have trouble with the sensitivity and I can not compare because I do not know the mpc but better than the axoim 49 (you will tell me, we could see the eye). It may be just me / lack of time / training / technical.
- Large manual in English, houououou, well yes I do not control enough to understand things a little more pointed.
- Delays in its release date.
- Same price whether it is justified by its quality, if it could be a little less expensive, it would not be worse. Especially as I squinted heavily on the axiom that 49 had more or less the same CHARACTERISTICS for 100 euros less.
Regardless, I do not regret my purchase. Come on, I go back fun
