Published on 01/12/05 at 04:58
5 octaves keyboard synth + pitch / modulation. Audio Connectors basic (Mono L / R + headset), sustain, MIDI IN / OUT / THRU, connection for optional PG800 programmer, memory cartridge slot RolandM16C. Robust, but without touching keyboard finesse (a bit on or off ...)
For more details, see data sheet
UTILIZATION
Gnrale configuration is not complicated trs, provided you have the PG800 programmer (rare and as expensive as the synth! Anything!) Or the software version PCJX8P, available as freeware on the web. This app goes beyond the PG800 serves as Librarian of sounds (sounds NBX on the Web) and has a small squenceur (IDAL for loops). The manual is pluttlger ...
SOUNDS
This is an analog aa twenty years, so forget the sounds ralistes! on the other hand, you can tweak the LFO, envelopes and other VCO happily (not n'tant synthse specialist in the sound, I'll leave l. The same goes for effects, it is best to dispose of a small multi-effect to make things more enjoyable. The sounds of organ or piano, elec. but are specific usable. The leads, pads and other cloths are good for what I do (Herbie, Weather Report, Chick Corea, Yellowjackets ...). In short, these are 80's but sounds trs trs diffrent a DX7 Yam (Yet trs 80's too!). Finally, the sound is trs subjective ...
Over time, the contacts under the keyboard and aftertouch rpond oxidize less. Found on the web an illustrated guide "step by step" for remdier this problem.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a year, is the only analog that I had and I like it a lot. Aesthetics, it is quite impressive and plutt robust, with a nice 80's look (buttons membranes fawn color "Dictates magic" memory like a game cartridge for Atari video, LCD screen on the green like old calculators ...). As noted Previous notice, the machine tends unwind. Regarding the touch, it seems really Exceeds over Calvier type "synthquot; latest issue, I would not recommend it as a keyboard matre.
Nanmoins, if you want a good analog, MIDI is more, and you can dpenser 300 euros max, take no hsiter. Unlike what some say, even without the PG800 was worth it, because the freeware PCJX8P replaces. In any case, the hybrid analog synth / MIDI is well worth some analog modlisations latest issue.
Before buying, verify with the operation buttons membranes, if required disassembly and small bombs contact ... thank you Zill, his former owner, for that RVision
Some notes are also sometimes tend paste.
If I now discovering, I would do without this choice hsiter.
