Modular Synth (same engine as its ERRF G2 and G2 engine).
- 5 octave keyboard
- 3 modulation wheels and a pitch stick
- 8 knobs (endless) + 8 switches
- 4 +1 LCDs
- Connectivity: MIDI, 4 audio outputs, 4 audio inputs, USB for shipping via the soft, between the XLR microphone with flexible desktop.
- Polyphony expansion card included as standard

Just a point less for the impossibility to use more than 4 patches simultanment, but we forgive him, since you can do almost an entire song with only one patch.

For more details, see the "News".

UTILIZATION

So the slap is the ... Ergonomics is simply excellent!
A priori, the power of the machine could leave prsager complexity of use of a terrible, but it is not.
Dj for programming the patches with the editor, it was all directly at hand (and under the eyes), while the mouse is done visually. No more endless return-alles in menus, submenus and sub-menus ... One program while at home, by assigning custom settings of their choice to other switches and knobs (which is feasible with a simple drag-OPDs), and is ready to go live without PC, with just his keyboard under his arm. Clavia thank you!

Has any pens for use in live and more intuitive. For those who are only eight knobs is not much, that they can prcisons CONTRL up paramtres 120 (15 slots x 8 knobs), which CSTA is simple via BCAN buttons. So knowing that we only have two hands ...
In addition, it is possible to assign a single number paramtres Controller (what Clavia called morph groups).

Oh yeah: each patch has eight variations instantanment accessible via switches DDIS. Basically, a patch is a synth and a variation of this is a paramtrage synth. We can therefore have trs DIFFERENT stamps on a single patch.

The manual is clear trs (who reads English) and provides examples of using the modules in the patches.

SOUNDS

L too, it's all good.
The DIFFERENT oscillator types available allow to obtain a wide range of sounds trs.
We are entitled to conventional waveforms (sine, pulse, triangle, etc..), The synthetic drums, modlisation the ropes, and even the exact reproduction of a DX7.
The filters are not bad at all, as with the variation on HP, BP, LP, Notch, 6 36 dB / Oct, comb filter, formant filter and a vocoder formidable.
And then it all sounds, nothing wrong. It was real deep bass, shimmering layers of ...

The effect is not part of the supplied, but offers enough to make dj: reverb, chorus, flanger, bit reducer, compressor, pitch shifter, phase shifter and a range of delays.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the G2X for about 3 months.
I fell in love by chance by trying the demo version.
It's the perfect combination of power and ergonomics, and I do it again the same choice without doubt.
The programming possibilities are truly standards, and when I see the price of some VA, frankly, there is no photo.
As for the price, I find it reasonable, given the capabilities of this synth.
