This is a good mono synth expander ptit analog
-2 COD with sync, pwm, sub
-Arpeggiator
From noon-course (all parameters are accessible by noon)
CV-MIDI converter / GATE Intgr -> a controller can even MS20! (V / Hz)
Audio-between to handle an external signal with the filter
-True analog filter switchable 12/24 dB
Small-effect section DISTO analog + PHASER
-Many knobs on the front
UTILIZATION
It is in practice a little head-taking, many paramtres are only accessible by menus, and it's hard to diffrent REPRESENTATIVES's features. But then it gets worse, and if you put a little good will ca is not as hard as a.
Fortunately we are not required all the time to dive into the menus, and therefore allow many knobs tweak the sound. Alas they are a bit small and trs close to each other. Other parties such as the unit is rack is not as pleasant as a keyboard or you can lay your hands, but hey nothing prohibits the inclusion in a slightly inclined ddi Panel.
SOUNDS
The sounds are quite large. The DCO is fairly complete section which quickly fall on the same sounds all the time, and the filter is switchable filter diffrent two slopes 12 or 24 db.
12 db is good for sweeps, pads and in general the richest mdiums.
Allows 24 db sound more energetic, the variation of the envelope on the filter giving greater rsultat more radical.
Hlas I for my part a little t dcu APRS shot by SBS. On the one hand the COD ring a little too perfect (especially with respect to a MS20 for example). So we may well have a lot of opportunities that level, it quickly loses the taste of making sounds only with COD, which is a shame trs. When the filter, even if it is not bad there is nowhere near the old design moog .. Actually I do not know how it is done and what is its degree of resemblance to either the design or with the moog copy TB303 (diode in place of transistors).
The fact is that the ear is not come make beautiful TB303 .. or some classic sounds that she may have in the head. It will take another synth for that.
Hlas Second, the effect section is not gniale, the distortion is far from being a stunning Analog, and the chorus / phaser is not labeled trs ..
A final BMOL that affects the sound, the envelopes are not fast enough, and few prcises a blow to the other. Which limits sounds like BD 909 or other small chattering sounds good ...
Oh I forgot, there is a leakage of one of the LFO on the audio path is defined so slightly trs a kind of hissing parasite! It can be deleted by changing a parameter c but boring!
That said, it would still get some sound friendly, everything is a story of personal attention.
OVERALL OPINION
Personally, I sold it because I had other analos interests me, and I also wanted rcuperer money for something else. It's not a bad machine, especially if it was not CHRE and want to fill an analog setup. It's always a sound source supplmentaire. Fortunately today there are many options in terms of analog synths (such Evolver, MFB synth Black Coffe, Doepfer Modular). I would consider them rather ...
Let us not forget also the interface CV / Gate.
One thing also that I was a little cooled the midday impletementation a little jitter. That is to say we feel small irrgularits notes on cheeks. So if you are able to feel the tiny variations ryhtmiques, go your way.
