Value For Money : Excellent
see above.

I wish the vibrato also modulates the release of the AR envelope, because we hear the stop hard after her into the shot.

UTILIZATION

it is easy to use, one hand on the keyboard and the other on the knobs when there is need.

Obviously we could have dreamed of for a pedal switcher portamento, but then I become boring.

SOUNDS

no velocity or aftertouch, again we could have dreamed of a velocity modulating the filter opening like all digital imitating analog sadly.


The sounds are beautiful, low cut filter will be honest, sensitive setting.

it is not far from the moog filter but with a limited but effective, not Raisonnance or contour.

the synth sounds, you can make a wave at the Theremin in the treble, the bass is fatter.

noise is limited, and it registers on a cutting section, we would have liked noise part, but then I'm terrible.


flutes to Mr. Kitaro old school, not pass through the filter?

oboe, clarinet, very hot.


trumpets and horns that farts.

the strings do not pass through the filter and there is more boring on the other hand.

this synth patches are exeptional. For everything lfo and envelopes is very limited.

OVERALL OPINION

this synth is very nice and cheap.

There is not a lot of things, but he does it very well, but with defects simplicity, but who cares, it has not a synth!

I do not know if this is minikorg and evolution of this synth I think it's worth it.

excellent value for money, this is not a toy, it's tough, it does not crackles, at least not mine, it's a bit the same knobs on the MS20.

the synth presets is nice, it goes faster, the patch is already there.

With the experience I only buy machines to life, it has to sound good to me and I can find it and repair it is not obvious at all.
I do not want to hear about memories and therefore not corespondances sound position knobs. For me from now a synthesizer sound that is equal to the momment it is, old.

I would be an exception for one day and JD800 dx7.

If you like the style progressive rock Tangerine Dream, JM jar, Kitaro, Schulze ..

We love this synth!

According to Techno and derivatives it is certainly not the best, though.
