Value For Money :
Excellent
(I remade my opinion after one year of use).
This is an analog modeling synthesizer / sampler with a polyphony of 18 voices, a keyboard with 4 octaves, 2 OSC, 2 LFOs, three envelopes (for the sound to the filter and has an assignable can almost everything what we want), a multimode filter, delay, chorus, reverb and amp simulation lamp, it has a relatively complete but lightweight connector for this range of synthesizer (MIDI IN and OUT, 6.3 stereo jack output for headphones, 2 6.3 mm output jack left / right, two USB connectors and pedals) with no MIDI through, no more trips to mix the two parts separately and not audio input an external signal to change but I do not think it's a real problem for the opportunities and the quality of this machine.
It is used with two utilities, one for creating the samples (simple and suitable quality) and to manage the sound banks.
UTILIZATION
Operation is very simple, everything is in front, with a few shortcuts, but there can.
The manual is very clear, but in English.
The overall design is very solid, it is lightweight, has a great look and I think he probably still work in 10 years (well I hope).
SOUNDS
The are is great, it lacks one can heat but it is not very problematic, we can do anything, autentic acoustic sounds (the sampler) and sounds that seem sortires of nowhere, we can do good organ sounds, there are a multitude of waveforms in addition to the basic (square, sawtooth, triangle) the envelope generator is effective, multimode filter is a marvel, it is not possible to a lot.
Only major downside to this machine, no arpeggiator! This is what is missing (for my taste) to make the synthesizer perfect for me.
The modulation possibilities are enormous, we can all change through the wheel or velocity.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for one year, with this machine I learned to program sounds and a first synthesizer was modeling, I do not regret! It will keep a special place in my setup and my compositions at the time I got it for 1900 euros with an extended warranty of 2 years in addition to the manufacturer's warranty so I think it's a good value money.
I would do this choice with his eyes closed.
