UTILIZATION
I used this for some time multitrack and I had some big surprises:
First, there is no hard drive, which means that the CDX-1 works with an internal memory.
When the sound is made, you must register all 2 tracks on the mastering and then burn the CD. Until the nothing abnormal. on the other hand ... surprise ... I compose songs some of which are long enough (about 10 min.), And the camera's internal memory can not accept that about 7 min 30! No one had explained to me this time and no "dtail" is prcis the manual.
It is therefore impossible to burn tracks longer than the last. We must know!
Then you have frquemment "optimize" CDR-W. Indeed, the data recording are all guards in memory (so you can use the function "undo") on the CDR-W. But after a while the CD is full. So running the procedure "optimize" for free instead. This also means that it is now possible to use the "Undo"!
Finally, it is true that a place Pipelines Limited to add a strip 128 SDRAM memory, but he does not find product with prcises on compltes CHARACTERISTICS the user manual!
In addition, it appears that this memory supplmentaire only works for functions sampler.
I e-mailed the hotline Roland for this problem, but I've never had rponses!
Finally, I would say the maneuvers on the CDR-W trs are long, and it takes patience to do some opration. (About 2 3 minutes to "optimize", more than 10 minutes format a CDR-W !!!).
It is becoming impossible to perform edits on the tracks (not copy, delete, dplacement etc ...)
For part Sampler, I've never used because I sold quickly trs!
SOUNDS
Otherwise, the sound is not bad ... except the breath in the effects of modlisation Amp (COSM).
Avoid a Manir gnrale the "bounce" (recording several tracks for free on two of the square), the resulting dernire, I think a loss of quality of origin.
OVERALL OPINION
I think though it is a World Premire, not your exact t the ESPR. The proof is that the CDX-1 is no longer in the catalog APRS only 2 years old and no similar product has not replaced. A German site's "Brad" 500 euros a year dernire!
So it is now possible to buy a new one.
I think to use "classic" is that guitar-bass-drums-vocals and songs of 3 4 min with a few samples, it is a device that can actually be useful, condition of be patient (especially in the handling of the CDR-W!). I sold mine a guy who made the music, the problem of course prvenant STATEMENTS above, and for him, this is perfect (I must say that I do not really him sold expensive!). Anyway, I think it is to opt for the INTERESTED BR1180CD (10 tracks with 20 GB hard drive!) Which may be nine to around 8 or 900 Euros.
What may tip the balance, it would be to use the sampler hypothse ... for the rest ...!
And if your finances permit you, go and see the Korg D1600 MK2, or if you Fidler your brand, the new Roland (Boss and it's the same!) BR1600CD ...
See for yourself.
