For specifications, visit Dave Smith, he probably will be more comprehensive than what I can tell you a few lines.

To make it simple and easy:

Polyphonic Synthesizer Rack 8-channel, multi timbral 2 shares, 4 assignable LFOs, 4 modules, Arpeggiator, Gate Sequencer, plus an envelope assignable to any parameter. Endless knobs.

1 In / Out / Thru noon, 2 stereo audio.

Everything is perfect sauuuuuuf these famous knobs:

1. The race is super long (trop. .....)
2. They are marked by a line when the race is endless (ie the volume pot tells you a position that does not reflect the real setting of the parameter)

For that I put 9 and not 10;)

UTILIZATION

We find ourselves in a configuration equal button function, and this is the great advantage of this synth Magré its numerous functionalities still quite affordable.

The sound editing is so easy enough, although the number of functions outlined above makes it possible to go very very far!

The manual is simple and effective, but not hyper developed my fourth synth so I began to know!

Both simple but powerful possibilities of modulation and high programming, I say this leaves 9, again because of those pesky knobs endless bother me when I work, giving me false information ... (Explained below)

SOUNDS

That is the most interesting:

I bought this synth for a complete setup already pretty well stocked: Viusa TI, Nord Rack 3 and Moog Voyager.

My use: Tablecloths, leads, basses and polyphonic sounds in general.

I am very satisfied with the sound of this machine! I found what I was looking for but I also discover sounds that I do not suspect him!

I went to leave my travel deal but the low dive prophet of pride made me see all the color.

Poly tablecloths and leads are colorful and have the characters, the modulations can aporte that little extra and we want originality.

At this price, it is a small rack with a big heart that we took out dave smith

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week I'm on vacation so I had time to tamper with the property.

Pros:

- Sound
- The hyper-advanced modulation capabilities (4 LFOs, 4 MODS, 1 ENV, arpeggios, SEQ GATE)
- The look
- The size
- The price

Cons:

- The knobs endless running too long and spotted ...

My rating takes into account the price of course, at this price the rack polyphonic multitimbral should not expect that much omega 8 but I frankly find it notes the challenge well!!
