Sequence very nice, great remix dual function, stress, slimming, tune, disto, loop, glide sing transpose. Effects and distortion are not configurable.

UTILIZATION

It is taken in hand very easily. 2 hours for me to get wasted on it and it rolls. Everything is intuitive, the interface is good, the knobs are flowing just right.
We must forget the editing effects. There is the choice in reverb, flat, room, hall, but the delay, chorus and flanger if you do not customize (and as in our case it is impossible) it is really unnecessary.
Shame to pass round the top. Either there must be customizable effects, or it does not take in my opinion. The economy could have been spent to implement a knob for the distortion for example.
In any case I can understand people saying that the sequence is good and intuitive.


SOUNDS

It sounds super good. It's the sound I wanted. I do not know if TB sounds better but it seems to me closer to the original. Of course the purists will say that the sequence is better but its not quite that of TB. I'm not even sure that all sound the same TB from one to another.
With reverb and distortion is very realistic in all cases, though of course we can speak of realism to the sound of a TB.
The bass is deep and aggressive and highs are like TB.
It sounds infinitely better than the MAM MB33 mk2 I had. It is truly incomparable. The MMA is really no its next level, opportunities, and finishing.
Here the presentation of the machine is neat, pretty design psyche and its extras.
I have long refused to be interested in this machine. I thought she was ugly and at first I was thinking it would be super difficult to edit. I came slowly and instead now I love: for her look and fidelity to the type of sound I was looking for.
Ca groove, ca swing, glide, focus and function are great remix.

OVERALL OPINION

I did yesterday. Well it's not my first bike and not the last and I was asking for several months. I scoured the web looking for demos.
Before I had the MAM MB33mk2, and I have copies on my v-synth sound and distortion of TB. I also have a Juno 106 with a filter that is fun and a sherman but it has absolutely nothing to do and that's why I cracked. It was either the Revolutionary or TB. TB is too expensive, with a sequence not better and the sound of the Revo is super close. I repeat myself on the other hand but the effects it's a shame! They have the merit to exist but that's all. The reverbs are still useful.
Is saying that the bassline vst Phoscyon AudioRealism and are very good but I did not even ask the question.
The Xoxbox is certainly very near the TB, can be more than the Revo, but the side of the plastic shell, a small machine, with a cobbled appearance and a less convenient sequence did not attract me much. Usually I like the concept machine "handmade in the garage" but did not attract me xox this time.
There are also acidlab bassline and bombass but I did not like the sound. Maybe because the demos are often too dry without effects. It sounds really nice and I think it's good but less musical.
Paid € 420 secondhand including shipping and in perfect condition with manual and power supply from London, it seems honest.
I AM VERY GRATEFUL for the Revo. (And its functions)
