I just bought the beast ... and my opinion is mixed ... Critics seen so far were very enthusiastic. I will be less ...
I wanted to use to drive solo Prodipe layers of synth with an electric violin. Since the device only works with PC, I installed it on my netbook, a Medion Akoya E1210. Not issue a lightning war music: the Realtek sound card is a real wound (excellent output, input pourrave). But hey, it's a netbook, and it does not take much space!
No major concern: easy installation program (version 2.4).
Following is less funny: you must know your pc, otherwise, it no longer gives any sound: Windows takes a solo Prodipe external sound card!
The latency on my netbook reached 85MS. A bit much to rapid passages.
UTILIZATION
Installation very simple.
Except for setting the sound output ...
In four days of testing, I have to force the termination of the pc on three occasions. The stability of the program provided is not complete ...
The program provided, in addition to not being stable, does not adjust the settings of the PC sound card. The problem does not arise only at first start the program: unpredictably, the sound stops ... and you have to play with the control panel windows to find the sound, which I do not know why, applies to find another way that the PC sound card! On the site of IPE, they find it normal, they even accuse Windows ...
Once found out, it will ...
The program is supposed to work with the human voice. Random result. I'm not a singer but I sing about right. I wonder what is like level of singing that everything works fine ... But I repeat myself, I bought the device for use with a violin and after setting the input and output, everything works.
I have nice sheets of "strings" if I do not play too fast. And a brothel when I can not exceed 4 notes per second.
The box and instructions announce that accompanies Prodipe Prodipe Synthesizer solo and comes with three of its banks. In fact, there is a ... But the record was designed for the previous version, which counted on 3.
I do not know if it will really push me to even choose a product from this brand ...
GETTING STARTED
After four days of testing, I'm pretty disappointed with the difficulties. The errors of parameters (inputs and outputs of sound) should be managed by the program! At least with an array of internal configuration program: it is employing to always use the control panel of Windows, which requires each time stopping and restarting the program.
On the other hand, management is chaotic voice ...
on the other hand, in recorder, violin and piano (monophonic and not too fast ...), it's more accurate. There should be room for improvement, but it demandrait access to parameters that are not accessible to the user: the interface is anything but friendly. The "tooltips" change nothing.
Fun fact: in "live", the violin in his "piano" sounds very honky-tonk. Same for many sounds ... The effect is not a problem, it seems very interesting to exploit.
For the price (€ 49.00 Woodbrass home), I would buy: the device seems to allow some interesting things. But I do not really recommend it: in the end, I am wondering if I could really use ...
