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
