Best value:
Excellent
For specifications, refer to the card manufacturer.
UTILIZATION
General configuration very simple, if we have, ever so slightly, approached the world (fascinating) synthesis.
Each parameter can be accessed directly by a potentiometer, or, failing that, very quickly through the menu.
The fact that the presets are not numbered but named is a little confusing at first, but you get done quickly and access by the potentiometer "Program" or when we know the number you wish directly by the keypad is actually quite simple and intuitive.
I did do that flew over the manual, but it looks clear and everything seems to be addressed.
I've had a few months and the only problem I have encountered at this time of the transfer presets from the computer (and therefore the final certainly does not even in the synth itself, but more mishandling of the whole of me).
One reason that made me buy this synth (besides the price, and lots of good advice found here or elsewhere on the web) is that we can transfer V-Station presets (VST version ) K-Station.
After research, I found a few tracks on the net explaining the basics of manipulation, but on all the solutions found, none works for me (I actually made a few days ago a post about it on the forum, but so far no response).
SOUNDS
Excellent for all types of electronic music minimal "edgy": D (for me, electrohouse, breakbeat, dubstep, drum n 'bass, techno, gabber ...).
It screams super easy, it's "filthy" and wish to personally, that's all I ask!
Joking aside, I used both for good low fat electrohouse, the subs jungle for "reeces" drum n 'bass or leads gabber.
Also great for emulating a TB-303, in the kind Acidcore arpeggio, it's a real pleasure.
Well, it is certainly not worth a virus or other "racing machine", but it makes the job very well anyway.
I have the VST Predator Rob Papen and I find that the sounds that one manages to get with the K-Station is close to this.
The effects seem to me more correct, a little loud mouthed and sometimes metal, but not enough to spit on this synth it seems to me (well, along with my ears that have casually picked up a lot over the years and my meager knowledge of synthesis, I'm certainly not the best place to talk ...).
Also mention the arpeggiator, basic but who does his job too.
Ultimately, therefore, like all synthesizers of this type, if you're looking for realistic sounds, go your way immediately!
If you look for a synth of electronica, drum n 'bass, trance, gabber's, techno, or even the dirty south, you can go there, it is sure to please.
And, because there must necessarily have a little "less", otherwise some might think I'm nothing but a commercial NOVATION in seeking to bring the customers to its brand, we can say he may be missing some volume and it should therefore not hesitate to climb a little gain on the mixer.
For example, I use it also setup live with a friend, with the MPC2500, an Alpha Juno 1, an MS2000 and SH201, and it's one that sounds the least strong (but hey, nothing to be bothered and having to climb excessively gain either).
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a few months, but in a rather intensive.
I've tried quite a few other synthesizer models of this type before, things in the same price or more expensive and it seems far from being ridiculous (especially considering its price).
What I love most, its "bestial" and its ease of use.
What I like least ... go ... I repeat, to say something, but do not mind: it lacks a little volume compared to other synths.
The price / quality ratio is excellent (especially since it looks pretty solid, but hey, I do not own it long enough to be sure of myself) and I would do without hesitation that choice with the experience I have currently.
