Value For Money : Excellent
Synth Guitar usable only if you have the sensor GK3 (or GK2A) provided in the package 600 euros or 100 euros for sparment available.
The trick is pretty damn good, two MIDI (in / out) to grate the patches or even control devices extenres twelve o'clock, two entries for everything amp, effects ... etc. ("Mix in"), and two outputs, plus an output intended to send the guitar signal an external device (effects, amps etc. ...), although it is plastic is not the Casing looks too fragile.
An expression pedals (volume, bend, filter cutoff frquence synth), two pedals to sustain and pitch bend, or simply to change patches.
I prfr of pedals in addition to grate the patches, but hey let's not quibble the small size of the synth is an advantage, especially since I dj pdalier an external CONTRL my POD by noon.

UTILIZATION

Use could not be more simple: select a CATEGORY of her, and with the knob or buttons on the same sensor it is navigated through the sounds of that bank. It can grate the volume, chorus, rverb, attack, raid, everything with buttons spars. The manual is almost useless, except for what is certain paramtres edition (type of sustain, SETTING THE recognition sensor notes noon, which essential for a sound cohrent). Overall it comes out easily.

GETTING STARTED

The sounds are great for some, for others blah. But overall they are still pretty damn even, it was worth the money, with an average of 40s sounds in each bank, and a dozen bank, there's always a way to find the sound that is sought.
The sounds are perfect for bands at the bottom of solo distortion or passing mlodique, the synths to double Idaux a solo and have a sound that dmarquent, sounds "ethnic" To create perfect environments Eastern, Celtic, Indian, etc ... The saxophone is a nice little jazzy ct, or even the chorus for a piece of brass a little more funky. The piano sounds are also lctriques convaicants trs (acoustic pianos as they are nice, but not used I think).
The only BMOL For percussion, the latency (very low indeed, but who feels like playing Manir fast) does not hold a pattern drum or percussion, using only patterns dj program (who engage themselves on a rope).

OVERALL OPINION

Overall a good product trs, dear I think given what it offers, but helpful nanmoins trs, which will always find an opportunity to serve, whether for a solo double, QC er atmosphere, support the rhythm ...

The sensor is about him trs simple to use, but to mount it's another story ^ ^ Trve joke, it's not REALLY hard, but we must make a choice between Double-sided (my choice, but who seems way over the long term, worth more to keep the roller door before a concert) and perage on guitar (which I d Chire IDE to think so quick choice for me ^ ^). The micro sensor fits trs if it has a Les Paul type bridge (as the unit of CONTRL elsewhere, but only on my guitar the bridge is the type Paul, the guitar is shaped stratovolcano with strings through body) as s'embote in the bridge, otherwise there is always the double-sided solution (o if you do not really fear, and if you condemn a guitar, perage).
