UTILIZATION

Operation is extremely simple. The presets are organiss by catgories, each containing eight presets, buttons allow the center to select. The pitch bend and modulation are easily accessible with the left hand.
Unlike MicroKorg, the keys have a standard size which is apprciable. It is regrettable aspect of plastic knobs, even if a person I do not drang.

The edition of the sounds can be Fully on the keyboard, it is useful to quickly change trs few dtails (the arpgiateur etc..) Fully built by a patch against this Fawn can rvler tedious! The edition via the software is practical and well organized plutt.

SOUNDS

Word, a sound. Analos fan of vintage (I possd), I am confused. Although sr was not the same grain as the old machines, the filters are less radical, but even when mchamment sounds good. Depending on the situation, it may s'avrer even more relevant in a mix ...
J'apprcie ct versatile of the synth: there are good presets organs and electric pianos, tablecloths fawn film music, and fx ...
The vocoder is of great simplicity and provides an excellent sound. It works perfectly with the supplied microphone.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 1 month.

For the price, it's all good: the sound is great, the effects can be placed directly into a mix, vocoder, the sound capabilities of Fast Fashion, the versatile ct (bass vintage complex to the ground) ... It is the branch has rings now!
I see no point ngatif one or two assignable knobs supplmentaires t have the nice but I'll look far. The report is qualitprix trs good.

I wanted a synth Reduces clutter, cheap, for homestudio and live with sonic possibilities Varis (electro / soul / funk). On all these points it is my expectations, I do it again so this choice without hsiter.

Everything has been said.

UTILIZATION

Editing sounds is a real pleasure we get easily out a unique sound and new styles of whatever musiques.Le manual is in French and is very clear we do not get lost.

SOUNDS

There are lots of funky sounds and electro dance, I love the simplicity of réglages.En little time we get to have good resultats.Pour the studio or live on ca is at ease is happiness. I love the sounds of funk bass and techno, I also like the electric piano sounds and the nappes.Et there is nothing I hate.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few months I lay coupled with EMX1 and I'm glad this purchase and I do not regret it and I know I did i not yet fully exploited but every time I turn I discovers new horizons.Ce I like most is the sound, touch and not to mention his size vocodeur.Et I even buy the aluminum flycase to tell you ... I almost buy the Miniak or juno but fortunately I réfléchi.Très good value for money.

we know

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration, manual clear enough, editing sounds really easy

SOUNDS

For the price, I find the sounds exellents: lead, bass, tablecloths or organs, I love them all.
I do not use them all because some are more toy (I think), but can still be nice for an intro for example.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 3 months. It is the only model I tried (I'm gonna read some opinions / reviews and listened to demo on the net).
Trèèèèèès good value for money
No need to repeat the choice because I'll keep it. I still think I have a expendeur (Clavia Nord Rack 2?) Next to enrich the possibilities.

For those who want a small, www.myspace.com / fonjik = All sounds (except certain rhythms) are from the R3

keyboard ... nice aesthetic successful by far!
when one approaches a little ... the quality of the knobs is very weak ... ditto for the knobs pitch mod ..
it is light in every sense!
only the arpeggiator is nice to use and intuitive programming.
he must forget the microphone ... especially live it grabs everything and it goes in the direction but not nicely.

UTILIZATION

config clear, clear manual, Edition with or without the intuitive editor
we recover the design of an analog synth emulation without surprises
The matrix is ​​cool and opens up many possibilities for research and experimentation.

SOUNDS

Sounds ... this is to request a synth .. and then big disappointment!!
he "squeaker" difficult to mix so it lacks grain!
Drafts are the effects we find always the same color ... I still use it for its functions arpeggiator's it!
I want to change
The filter ... of such poverty .... no range no heat no finesse ... except on a few sounds. It is far from the analog!
We really hesitate to go in for sth out hope ... sometimes it works but not a keyboard that "sounds".
In summary I would say a low-end keyboard gadget! the OS is full and rich (lots of possibilities ...) the sound it really is not appointment.

OVERALL OPINION

Use for 2 years in a set comprising a NL3, Rhodes (Bassman Ten), MS10, JUNO 60 ... I can not find her place if its functions ARPEGIO.
We need to spend much time in publishing to find sounds nice.
In the end it is still undergoing the smallness of the sound engine ...
Once I have a little money to invest and I found a machine that rings with a powerful ARPEGIO .... I am separated and no regrets.
value for money is not very expensive ... it is not worth more!
Let's synth sound before any

Small, light, provided editing software, USB cable not included, no digital output SPDIF.


UTILIZATION

Super easy to use.
The keyboard is light but pleasant to use.
The keyboard is small but the octave shift keys are there with a change of color to indicate the octave. In fact I realize that I do not play the same on a piano. This keyboard makes it more suitable than a larger keyboard to record movies with the change octave. The number of buttons is perfect for me.
The editing of sound from the synth is possible to troubleshoot the app is still more convenient. It is possible to assign her 5 favorite controllers to 5 pots, which already offers a lot of modulation ability live.
The arpeggiator is very convenient and you can really do swing as you want.
I put "perfect" if the pots were more accurate, but not very bothersome.

SOUNDS

The sounds are pretty amazing compared to size of the synth. It is expected to really do it when you see it.
It is possible to obtain a wide variety of sounds. In addition they can be modeled using the step sequencer, which can delay further the limits of the machine. Rare are the synth in this class to offer this feature.
KORG's website it is possible to recover the banks mikrokorg, the MS2000B MS2000 & some sounds Radias. They are all very good.
This adds to the analog synth I expected. It is the ideal example of a pattern produces sound purer and more realistic. It is also the perfect complement Electribe.
The sounds really are and the enveloping presence. It sounds great I find if I compare to my Motif ES which has filters on top.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it one month now. He became the perfect complement to my Motif ES and a Electribe MX.
I tried a Gaia, a Venom and R3 and finally I chose the R3.
In terms of price it is positioned properly, although I would have preferred to find opportunity in my region.

Superb synth, very comfortable to the touch, with a microphone included for the vocoder, and works great!
4 buttons to tweak the sounds (which each contain full effect), 128 tones of leads, basses, keyboards ...
Lots of ports: midi in / out, USB, audio in / out, headphone jack adapter and sectoral.
Comes with software to make settings from a computer.
(Details of the features are already known).

UTILIZATION

Very simple when you know a little machine, but the only flaw is that the instructions are quite complicated for beginners.
Otherwise, for editing the sounds, everything is very simple just turn the edit buttons in real time (while you press a key).

SOUNDS

For those who want to sound hip hop / rap (like me) or techno, trance, house, electro ...
THIS MACHINE IS FOR YOU!
That sounds synth heavy!
I love that, after those who do not like when it sounds digital, do not take this synth.
With a very efficient mode arpeggiator!

OVERALL OPINION

Just perfect for my taste.
Sounds heavy, single edition, top vocoder, arpeggiator very useful and can be created by computer ...
Nothing to say (except maybe a little difficulty reading the manual).
