UTILIZATION

The config is super simple: one button, one function, all spread over 3 tones stackable. There is no screen recalling the setting of ongoing and so we turn the knobs without knowing where we are ... This is the only drawback at this point. The manual, I did not open, I'm exploring. It's still simple to very simple ... The editing and sound effects are simple ... if you know a minimum VA synths.

SOUNDS

No particular style (except the presets that are what they are ...) is the VA. The keyboard is excellent, too bad it is so small (37 keys). I love the ability to add distortion or fuzz heartfelt sounds. The effects are not extraordinary but still very usable.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had this week. I publish the notice in a few months ... I know many VA synths in this price range either in OCCAZ 'or nine (Virus, Nord Lead, JD, JP, AN1X, MS2000, VSTi). In comparison, current and well thought out. It is a portable ergonomic keyboards pretty well done for the Live (batteries!) And quick access.
The sound reminds me (the first key press) the JP8080. I think that the same algorithm is so striking. Especially when making a patch with the wave Supersaw ...
Editing by USB, the three tones (usually 2 ...), but rather the good keyboard, the effects are its good sides. Its downsides are the lack of screen, access to one and only one OSC LFO Tone, blah-blah presets ...
I think this is a synth that is a good first step in the VA or sytnhé Live. The studio is a bit light but it's all included ..
