rounard75 « Simple and powerful portable multitrack »
Published on 06/10/11 at 01:32With 4 multi-input jack and / or XLR (one phantom mic), LINE IN, Guitar Input, RCA. 44 kHz Sampling, storage of up to 32 GB SDHC card (1GB included), 4 simultaneous tracks, eight tracks at mixdown tracks and 64 "virtual" (V tracks. WAV format. Contactors touch, lightweight and has very well. Its lightness makes it a camera open for mobile use (battery power, USB or AC adapter).
UTILIZATION
A first approach to the unit's reception: I could start Laying out three draft improvised pieces thanks to the EZ recording (which pre-selects the rhythm, the choice of instrument sounds). I also did a track record of improv jam récupée and recorded from the Line In (external drive with a cd). The manual is very complete in English, the French version is available on the Roland site. Editing of sound can be refined as many parameters and effects are available but the guitar presets are already very successful model for fast.
SOUNDS
Good dynamic rendering (Cosm effects processor, GT 10), effects for electric guitar, acoustic guitar (not tested), bass, vocals, bass simulator (very accurate and credible) and acoustic guitar. Many parametric effects (hundreds) with memories of patches users. Mastering effects pre-programmed and saved user patches or "song".
OVERALL OPINION
I just got it and I used an afternoon with additional instruments. 1) the models of guitar and bass is surprisingly good (better for a guitar amp transistor modeling), 2) the built-in looper is a real plus, especially since it is a disconcerting ease of use, allowing the development of complete loops but also to make a record with some curly and the rest in free overdubs, 3) feature mastering, with presets according to musical genre, or parameters as desired according the track or the whole; 4) EZ recording function for quick ideas friendly. there is also a phrase trainer that I have not tested, according to a "putsch in / out putsch" to correct the small passages in a recovery record (invest in the foot switch), the ability to choose 8 versions from virtual one that is best for a given track etc ... A high quality product, therefore, the scope of an individual. Side mics: ok for voice, percussion type djembe, flutes, shakers ... Difficult for low frequencies like those of a balafon. Price / quality ratio, it seems, very good (I see the strength of the device over time, including tactile switches). Bought 439 euros with headphones, a jack and a Y FS6, great product! I go to a result close to the professional. I think a very good investment for any musician!
