This super synthesizer with some connection to noon (or with a kit) contain just about anything to make her exit from your imagination, 2 running oscillator by using intensive-operational (or that particular sound) and some FET and PNP, unlike TB303 using NPN-pass, which gives a more aggressive (the transistors are no longer present in the TB303) not to mention on the envelope-based pwm amps op.Le Xmod is located after the selection of waveform we find the level of VCO and the Xmod balance (which enters the mixing process of two waveforms).
In short, it is pure juice adapted 220 volt self-oscillating resonant enough to fry a few speakers and wound menbranés.On heard it everywhere, jusuq'à recently in one of my favorite albums (Darren Price "under the flygpath)

Otherwise arpeggiator, 8 channel sound (16 tilt etc. ...)

UTILIZATION

The manual is very clear in any case, the front panel is an absolute simplicity, the sound passes through the choice of the wave, then comes the xmod, AMVs, filters (cutoff, resonance), classical home classique.Ce design is (and should) be a reference for manufacturers of synthesizers, not the user is lost, that's what I blame a bit with the Access Virus or LFOs are left instead waveforms, which would have been more practical, although in reality are the LFOs to modulate the VCO

SOUNDS

Music style: techno, techno, electro and also (somewhat) if not, the sound is suitable for making techno, see more ...
effects, well I have to talk to you about the effects: inimitable, it looks like a "sonic landscape that is modulated in real time, no synthesizer can do that. Sounds like dens are well and saw that the noise (noise), capable of many things very "cool"

OVERALL OPINION

What thing do you like most/least about it?
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...

My overall opinion is that this synth is great but the price is too high for what it is. Unfortunately, some functions do without unnecessary these days with computers as the arpeggiator blacksmith down the price because this sound is unique . However, the brand is also a virtual analog argument.Aucuns can repeat this sound and you have to know once and for all (virtual analog transistors = 0). caratéristques The transistor is a noise that is generated by self-oscillating, which is not the case for analog Virtaula, this noise is what makes the charm of analog, analog virtuals are too parfait.Je gives 10/10 anyway because it ' synthétisuer is a fabulous, legendary, for me, the king of kings with the minimoog well although I prefer the Jupiter 8
