Between 1 and 1 MIDI output - reoit posts by pitch, modulation, and sync, and MIDI notes. receives and transmits messages start, stop and MIDI clock. Cest any management MIDI!
3 VCO (oscillator) with its three forms: sawtooth, triangle, square. Octaver for each of three positions, and even a knob "interval" to change the sound up to + / - 1 octave.
1 VCF (filter) 24 dB / Oct
LFO 1 / modulation for the filter, another assignable lment another (at best: lADSR general)

UTILIZATION

The manual is an A4, more than enough! available in English and German on the official website.
I find its dimensions Lilliputians plutt practices as to the weight: would they have forgotten to fill the machine?!

gnral aspect:
the console has a central Ukraine, the knobs are also rubber Ukraine (both offer a little Resistors, we must say that my machine in dmonstration silent, I guess this will pass with the use), oh, screw! Switches as slamming a shot. Curiously, this does not inspire too much mfiance. it looks solid nonetheless. the footsteps of squenceur prims are smarties and spring loaded, but nothing scary either!

use / handling:
the prsentation is so clear that one immediately resumed his. no notch with sub-menus, everything is l. Madame wants a small chorus? the veil. an LFO, two LFO? A big lead, down three octaves? here! quickly found the right combination is like a game then the grip has given: play, and then Youhou! a look in the manual on the operation of squenceur, and go!
Let&#39;s talk about the squenceur: it is basic, yes, but more practical, it has not: prog> the keys you type notes> prog: it&#39;s done. you cres patterns of 1 32 steps! against by the rglages are not saved. I recommend the good old book ...
Note: While you play, you can transpose Młoda of one or more tones by pressing a key note. nice!
I do not squenceur for 10, but I&#39;m hard.

SOUNDS

Cest Latakia and power the machine that Mount surprised at the first "play": ouch, we feel lanalogique go! and then warm and beautiful, as is the contrepetrie Belgian and clean too ... but if you ask, the BTE can also show their teeth - and void, without artifice. you can configure the maximum modulation to smear the sound.
Each element taken sparment is extremely efficient: the filter, although sr, near the moog or not, whatever. the three forms of oscillation are trs distinctness, a pleasure.
c silent a rich IDE to mount an ADSR for the filter, given the range of sounds quil offer. I take my foot off the sound, the maximum delay Latakia ...
the palette of sounds: its low thanks to the filter, are unstoppable, welcome six feet under! VCO with three, was quick to have nice tablecloths, with a nice chorus (hey, it&#39;s not a Triton). In any case, if aphex twin tells you something, it has really something to do here!
ct effects: there are only leabsence I regret the delay, you will have a MIDI editor ... frankly, for the rest ... a distortion sound eventually break.
the lfo / modulation offers a number of rglage so you can make trbucher or hop sound, the most beautiful effect, yay - remember quon can control the modulation from a digital collection&#39;s outdoor .. .
given the precision of thundering rglages, I am not worried about the number of existing sounds, even with a basic construction commme it!

OVERALL OPINION

I am the User for a few days, but I think I have toured the possibility - but not tomorrow EST I will be blas by its power and dynamism.

At that price the procs would be wrong to criticize The elements missing! having been around a bit of AF, I did not see any competition rigor, Electribe EA1 Korg, even that is not analog - and I swear that the analog sound, a slap!
Its major weakness: MIDI management. ok, ok ..
the squenceur, bogus? it is especially ultra convenient! java regret his absence even if I had taken the lite. Otherwise, you squence nimporte with any other device ...
But for the most: sound, respect! It is beautiful, it is dynamic, prcis, everything works perfectly. And because the interface is very simple, it is quickly trs ease. Grip easy as, Is it not an essential asset? live, you will spend hours.
This machine is so cohrente in its construction, pleasing in sound, symapthique, that you forget the time goter. Huh? you have a budget of 9200 euros? bah, achte a car then. What? it&#39;s not the sound of the sea? Well no, but with your 9200 euros, you can go, the sea ..

If c&#39;tait again, may be I would have taken the synth lite, or the synth II Obviously, why not Polylite? but for 255 euros a copy of expo bought from Thomann, I will not scream ... for the price, I would not have even a piano stool!
Hint: to receive MIDI notes on some other squenceur without playing the notes of squenceur MFB, it must be configured in matre!
