CHARACTERISTICS good because of normment paramtres ... may be even too much!

UTILIZATION

It sucks!

Of course, the problem is highlighted dj CSTA to paramtres via a single knob. Even with keyboard shortcuts is annoying. But is the price paid for the small size and low weight of the machine (which is a good choice CRITERIA scne to make, or even for ct practice).

But this is not the main worry for me: you see, we see that this type of instrument has been designed by the Next-Generation ingnieurs who swear by the computer.

Indeed, the management of MIDI sounds great Relva of anything! Instead of like everyone is saying organize the sounds you want to save in locations that can numrots commnander MIDI (with the well-known numrotation 0 127), our computer scientists are ALESIS alls imagine dbile logic, where the sounds are stored in an endless series of "gender", in which certain sounds are found on several occasions (eg for FAV " Favorites ", for sounds RECENT utiliss" recently ", etc.).. So when you send via a keyboard or other source matre MIDI control change to a program changes the MICRON is placed anywhere without any logical! This means that it is impossible to properly control program changes on scne matre via a keyboard.

This is serious since trs in my case I drive all with a Roland A90, so I have to change the sound by hand (like the old days you might say, but when even!) During together. This limits greatly the advantage trs the device, because of the sudden the possibilities become trs limits on scne.

SOUNDS

Trs good sound type "analog modlise". At the landed cost (with DIFFERENT headphones good quality), yet skeptical j'tais dpart: I found way too gnreux the top of the spectrum, giving c Does a little chilly, with also a lack of mdium, tessitura which is often the charm of the real analog (TB "hot").
However, in situations of group play, I'm surprised trs enjoyable: the synth lines dlivre thunder ffective clear, either with LEADS like "antics" in Rick Fawn MINIMOOG Wakeman, or LOW with fleshy. It possde a espce of "aura" particulire, we peroit on all types of sounds, even trs DIFFERENT them, a kind of signature sound if one wants, which gives it a "frank" and "white" to make it stand out as it should in a set. At least the impression I rptition in, I did not test as part of a mixing in the studio.

OVERALL OPINION

I use just a few weeks, but I feel that DJ is a good buy in terms of its ...

As against this problem by MIDI control makes me really dbile the use of basic Manir trs scne: change sounds by hand (!), Which is a shame in 2011!

So, I can not use background.

To hell with computer logic and illogical!
