Analog synth with a keyboard 49 keys with no velocity.
6 voice polyphony
against the controls are digital with a menu and a wheel "alpha"
There Patch A 64 64 User and Factory

The sound is generated by offering a COD differrent Saw and Square Pulse and a Sub
A two filters are available HPF (with only 4 possitive)
A Low-Pass and
It is also an LFO that can control the pitch frequency of the filter and VCA
A envellope ADDSR (Two decay) can control the same as LFO
Finally There is a chorus FAMOUS Juno

UTILIZATION

The config is pretty simple though tedious:
We choose the parameter / on the rule / We change / We readjusted ... is long enough
The manual is clear but we can have synthetic qq bases it will be passed very quickly.
As for the South I could not test due to lack of equipment to link ..

control the "live" is quite limited is through the menu and then turn the dial.
There are all the same facade in four shortcut: MOD Speed ​​/ Depth / Brightness / Length
The brightness affects the Cutoff
Length Alonge shortcut or the overall
However, if one of the chosen parameters is very low (0 to 2) the 4 button has no effect is pretty gallery: the shortcuts that I supposont envelope to the max then I switched to the cutoff to increase and I want to lengthen again the envelope, there is a good chance it will be changed because certain parameter reaches 0 aront rise again and do more

SOUNDS

This is where it's interesting:
Sounds, away from realism are beautiful (a condition that always keep the Chorus, even slightly)
can be of very good low
notament thanks Chord Memory Shifts Who to play according to one key:
by adding a fifth and octave or can get ultra low fat and very typical.
on the other hand to make very serious and well-Bass has a round can of evil, it becomes hoarse
It is doing no evil Lead and Tablecloths

The envelope has 8 parameters allows modulation furious (notably in the Aplique the filter).
Too bad that there have not a second one may sometimes it embarrassing to have the same envelope on the filter and VCA.
Also damage the LFO is a bit lightweight at once you can not do too much sounds like very complex sounds effects ...
It also lacks a keyboard with velocity (although he manages to MIDI)

The Chorus is Magifique is the main strength of this synth
We do not control the speed, going from very light (almost invisible) to the large modulation raging all through the soft.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it at the beginning of 2008
this is my first analog
I am absolutely a fan of the chorus and the Chord Memory
I like less the digital interface which produces a staircase effect not necessarily genial.
Can opportunities modulation But for that price it's normal (especially when you have 6 voice polyphony)

Despite its small default this synth does not pastiche large analos
Are memeory chord chorus and make it an instrument rather interesant.
The value for money is more than beneficial
I paid mine 120 euros, that price was not even an arranger nine
