Anonymous Small Controller time!
Published on 08/30/13 at 02:11 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Easy to handle, slide the faders well and not flanchent under the fingers; certainly not very strong (plastic), but if have not sudden, everything is fine ... for them anyway!
When the buttons for selecting various parameters of the console, they do not present any weaknesses, and should take the shock over the years!
The material itself is all hard plastic, I would not bet if the launches are on the 4th floor, it comes out unscathed!
UTILIZATION
Passive use only (without USB so), I was able to connect Midi, a sampler and a sound module to my 1820M, to also connect in audio this time, out of my 1820M via a tape deck!

I have not tested the USB connection, as useless for what I wanted out!
SOUNDS
The headphone output, unlike inputs, spring low, prompting to set the level almost fully, perhaps, construction defect ...
OVERALL OPINION
It has to be a buying opportunity for me, but that has served me throughout the time I've used!
A choice I would if there was only this one on the market, but for the current competition ...
Inexpensive and useful at the time, both for the nomad, as the home studio, it's still a controller to test and keep, if have is in love with Roland and his old products!

Is not compatible with MAC OS
UTILIZATION
English manual in HTML and paper (setup)
An adjustment period is Necessary for understanding the "spirit" U-8. especially the assignment of the inputs, the operation of "controller". As for the edition of DSP effects, there are standard functions.
SOUNDS
Good multi-effects including:
* Mastering effects (compressors, limiters, etc.)
* Effects "multi space" o found rverbe, chorus, phaser, delay etc..
* Efferts guitar and effects to organs (rotary)
* Finally, the effect RSS (Roland Sound Space) is included
OVERALL OPINION
The most
* Good multi-effects, including those for mastering
* Syncro complte (MIDI and audio) with Sonar or Cubase
The least
* No input / output S / PDIF coaxial
