All user reviews for the Multivox MX-2000 Duo

A very close analog ROLAND SH2000 (the names are almost identical and appearance as well). Small flat and is duophonic! yeah, it's finally saying what it is said, I do not see it but duophonic Double oscillator as it is in fact rather that, we can switch to two oscilloscope which can not chose not to do the second and snaps at the same time as the first, so a monophonic with two VCO. on the other hand can detune the second VCO and even put them in sync. The system of this synth is one of the presets that provide access to various waveforms but which can not be accessed freely, ie other than choosing a preset that I found on my pity because JEN SX 2000 it can be done freely. However, all modulations are available on the control panel on the left of the keyboard. It has an international scale that allows us to bypass a portion of the filter envelope pre-set and suddenly open or close the VCF and increase the resonance (which is extremely powerful ROLAND worthy of self oscillation guarantee and HP use to protect!) Little miracle of science for the time, a Hall effect sensor (a magnet moving past a sensor which suddenly changes its resistance value) is placed in series with what you want, you can assign to the coup aftertouch ... I said AFTERTOUCH! yes yes .. the following things: Vibrato, Pitch Bend, Growl (I do not really know what it is but it is a kind of very intense and rapid vibrato on the VCF I think it looks like the blow that to deal with a punch or a beast that growls.) can also affect the VCA volume, and ... The most fun for my taste: the opening of the filter that the coup may, depending on your typing speed also serve, because you can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor with a potentiometer on the front ... You'll understand that this synth is really great in my opinion ... Unfortunately no connections CV / GATE. Level waveforms were: SAW, SQUARE, Chorus, FUZZ, RECT, Ring Mod .. yes yes ... all that! but no parameter or it must explode one of 30 presets and add an external control panel with knobs and selectors to assign any ... Titan's work but I'd kick it! if someone wants to go .... It has a VCF and a Low Pass High Pass an Overdrive ... in short a great machine but need the grind in her womb ... It's good for the features because there I just ... I put only 5 on the characteristics in that they are not really accessible by means other than the presets ... So no real synthesis appointment.

UTILIZATION

Ben what is most depressing a simple color selector for the type of sound that is desired and presto! triturated to tune the knobs, and of dual VCF and yes, I forgot also portamento in the characteristics ... Super easy to use live because of its aftertouch allows modulations without touching the knobs so you can make a lead with the MX2000 and something else with his left hand on another keyboard (eg ARP OMNI II ...)

SOUNDS

then ... big sound assured, especially in unison detune slightly ... a powerful lead sound, big possibilities with aftertouch, big big resonant filter so you can even make sounds sinus self-oscillating filter. once passed through a small Marshall Guv'nor well it makes you lead and bass sounds very very big ... SH101 a fatter, warmer ... almost more acidic than TB303 ... (I never had the chance to own but I am going happily and fortunately for my budget synths there ...) So in summary big sound at the rendezvous Small flat anyway, keypad average bill and a very acute triangle sound that sounds all the time at each key played ... sound small but annoying enough to make me angry ... (I discussed the excellent forum Yusynth and for now all users have the same problem and no one has found where it came from ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I have this keyboard for 4 years and I would sell the ever bought on ebay € 215 including shipping I have made a good purchase, it is beautiful with its "Yellow Teeth" (CHOK thank you for expressing that I have adopted ..) and his piece of smoked plexi. It should be one of the pundits Yusynth leans on it to realize an array of mods ... A small fault anyway, it does not take well the tone. If you have one for sale I'm interested.
