choquette « a status of "classic" well deserved. »
Published on 07/08/11 at 08:452 octave keyboard and a half (FA DO) with a switch for transposition of +1 / -1 octave.
pitch bend wheel (horizontal) / modulation (vertically) and dosed assignable to VCO / VCF and pitch separately.
arpeggiator and sequencer triggable by a gate signal is connected to the speed of the LFO.
I / O CV / Gate Standard (1V/oct). minijack in
main output and headphone jack 6.35.
HOLD pedal input jack 6.35.
Click on EXT jack 6.35: controls the speed of the arpeggio / sequencer
UTILIZATION
LFO: triangle, square, and random noise, from 2 to 20 hz. applies to the pitch with a slider and knob bender. VCF in PWM and the square of the VCO: a slider and a 3-position switch to select the source: LFO, ENV, or Manual (PW simple).
mixer section for the determination of the volume waveform of the VCO: SAW and SQUARE SUB with the oscillator and the white noise generator.
SUB OSC fairly complete: October square -1, -2, and PULSE -2 October October
then the section with conventional filter cutoff, resonance, depth ENV, LFO depth and Keytrack.
VAC: 1 switch to select between WRAP and GATE.
ADSR classic with a 3 position switch: Retrig or not, and trigger the LFO.
SOUNDS
that's the interesting part: Roland classic sound with silky Square, a pleasant SAW reminiscent of many TB-303. a filter that creamy little saturated self oscillates violently while being very musical, quite the opposite of PRO-ONE example. makes this filter ROLAND IR3109 (Jupiter 6, Juno 8 6-106, JX-3P) is my favorite filter in the world.
for a small monophonic (one CSO, one LFO ENV 1) it has a fairly comprehensive modulations, especially lack of ENV on pitch. Note that the NOISE shaped LFO can get very aggressive sounds unlike other Roland.
a standard brief recognizable at first listen.
OVERALL OPINION
past ten years that I practice that is my favorite bass machine. but it provides very good sound LEAD classic and sequenced sounds interesting. no complex modulations (or extreme) but a full, punchy, powerful and above all a shell prompt (analog), which ridicules the most recent synths.
I highly recommends that they though the rating used is overvalued (€ 350 seems a fair price)
Note that many changes can make very easy to turn it into the semi modular system 100.
