Value For Money : Poor
Expander-6 matrix with the split and edit in less
-3 1 MIDI output power supply and a mono (for mono Lamentable)
-No effect (hard to believe at the hearing of certain sounds!)
6-polyphony channels but no split or layer (a shame)

UTILIZATION

-The use is very simple, you turn and we play
-The editing is non-existent unless you have the matrix set out in price or a PC with appropriate software, or other control surfaces
-The manual is useless and pathetic, full of hexadecimal data to be used in external control

SOUNDS

The sounds are simply great! 1000 preset is good on the poop and there is good or very good. No acoustic sounds possible but synth side, I think being in the presence of a monster of synthesis! Having touched on the range and juno OB8 matrix and 12 I can say that it covers quite well. It Exel ds the strings of any type (Bowed, slow), the brass at the Wham! or vangelis and voices are harsh environment. For the new age it is perfect. Drop the piano or organ, rather infamous and unusable for me it don 'remains an EXCELLENT trader low that it is in cash, sweep, FM, or at the juno. The term is rather good with my driver I roland w30 (level hit that is my favorite) and I didn 't have to complain because the secret of the matrix that is to hide the opening of an envelope or cutoff in velocity, so take the most receptive of your keyboard to control it.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 month and I appreciate very much the fact that he can always get out the sounds that I have more or pmoins head in the moment that it is a 80's sound. on the other hand I like not the MIDI implementation does not control it except for the note bend + shift + October, over a small arpegiatteur would not have been a luxury. As has been said, that is really a museum at the lowest price Oberheim covering ground in January or hammer riffs van halen or Thomas Dolby, I have even found on some pads heard Prince and Human league.Si c 'had to be rebuilt I think I would take an extra 6 matrix to happen because the older version is really hard combo to sound terrible because the matrix is ​​a can ch ... with its mono output, I find it lamentable a square for a synth of this quality.
