UTILIZATION

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?

yes no sorcerer, a few buttons and menus in heureuseent no, menu and jsute a level ... you just turn a few buttons

- The edition of sounds and effects is it easy?

yes ... in addition to the editor in USB PC / MAC it becomes child's play

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
very clear is modern enough ... especially since Korg n'tait not very pedagogue ...

SOUNDS

- The sounds they agree your style of music?
sounds are more oriented to the House / electro / breakbeat / hiphop / techno

- Are they ralistes?

enterme synthetic analogue sound is pretty well ... especially for that price and the bidouilant, LFOs, filters and EG (envelope Geenerator) + FX grow good sound.
the vocoder is very nice .. there are many more inputs and micro plant is good, plus it can be replaced by another microphone XLR

sounds clavinets will do in Live .. (especially the wah clav) ... there is a sound and rhodes wurly that can be used as live accompaniment to other instruments coat but only a little light they restennt ....

- The expression is good? (Raction VLOC the aftertouch)?

expression and the right and the buttons are large (more than a USB controller ).... there is no aftertouch unfortunately ..

What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest? ...

I love the lead, the vocoder, the bass (which, together and say, can give good leads, strings and brass the Oberheim analog / prophet / Juno. Presets surprised me too Half of them are used in modern live and studio more than the original assign Knobs are very inspiring (although after we can change the function of the Knob) ... there are presets pads or arpeggiator styles too got my esotriques but even these are used in the editing a bit ...
I think that style at low there could be more variation on ... well I also have a north lead3 and may be I am too well accustomed in his right .. c is more than well

OVERALL OPINION

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

the most: the analog sound that price the the shipping pretty easy, the number of patches to virtual router filters, LFO, OSC, filters etc. .., its weight and dimensions, the vocoder, the editor PC / mac edit that allows the sounds from a PC vic via USB, the new driver MIDI / USB to connect the R3 udb with the computer (Windows or OSX) and convert MIDI keyboard (I connect to the studio on the PC and live on an Apple Macbook pro), the arpeggiator fairly complete, the internal structure of sounds, large keys,

Cons: no aftertouch (not too serious) look somewhat good marchbr /> buttons (which are still meileurs those of MIDI controllers) that can be justified as the price low, there is no memory USER, in all there are 128 presets that we must re-write to save new parameters .. but now that I think may be there are ways to save sound editors in the PC / MAC to load ultrieurement.

- How do you report qualitprix?
qulit great value price ....

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
it is clear .. like I said I also have a Nord Lead 3 and level synthesis and programming is a big lab with the seriousness of ingnieurs in white coats, but the Korg R3 is quite fun and insprirant and is accsibles to beginners but also those who will be happy tweaking sounds like studios and traffickers in real time LIVE ..
