The Xtreme Lead is a "small" sound module orients Electro, Dance, Techno. But it nevertheless has a wide range of sounds, which extends along the style of music tastes.
For the characteristics (in this classic series):
Rack-1U (normally the "ears" Rack are provided, but not always)
-4 Controller assignable Facade. (There's a small switch that allows you to change "groups" so that no one can have on the facade controller 12, by interchanging)
A-Jack Audio Output (L and R)
-MIDI In / Out / Thru
-Power: Cable classic PC genre
-D origin with the card Xtreme Lead: 4 * 128 Sound Presets, and as many as User. All sounds are editable, different effects rested ... I have unfortunately not yet able to immerse myself fully into the subject ...
-No special editor I know of Ordi ... it must be on a soft rabbatre General Genres MusicQuest or SoundDiver ...
64-channels polyphony
A single-slot card of sounds (original Xtreme Lead)
-Arpeggiator
SuperBeat-Mode
Note: there is an extension Turbo, which increased the polyphony 128, 6 Audio Outputs, Midi sockets 5, 3 maps available, digital output ... See XL-1 Turbo
UTILIZATION
The configuration is standard, there are 16 channels MID, and chose the sound you want each channel pr. The edition of the sounds can be quick with the Controllers in the facade, or much pousss with different menus. For the cons must be satisfied with the LCD.
It receives MIDI messages perfectly, and shipments also without problem.
The manual is trsdtaill but I have me in English so I put little small. We do not need to read the manual to start hacking in and out of cool stuff, for ds against one wants to do serious, start a little browse.
Trs intuitive use.
SOUNDS
Sounds ... it always comes back
Of course it depends on the style of each. I'm not trs Techno, yet I find sounds great! In fact I bought the XL-1 for "electronification" my compositions, and it works Thunder! The drum kits are impeccable, and the sounds are not aggressive in general (although you can make aggressive). So it fits in my nickel compounds Electro, Funk Fusion ...
I am not going into detail of the edition of the sounds, but I'm on there way to customize the machine very easy to taste. (Well if it is to play the Ravel Bolro it will be hard even qd)
OVERALL OPINION
I did not long ago, but I put that opinion, this "first draft" to guide prospective buyers, because I y'avait not believe qdje bought it and it was bad!
The pros: The sound, controllers, the simplicity of use ...
The -: Too bad no n'yait specialis soft single slot card is a shame too.
This rack is ideal for digital me my modest setup, I did not need USB, Audio outputs or 6 ... I had the 330 and I think I made a good deal. on the other hand, before you buy too much, check prices Turbo version, I find a little "osquot; to both the same price ...
For a first expander I'm really happy with my choice: D
If you want to listen to the sounds, you can listen to those of the XL-7, it sounds the same, except that the XL-7 has a sequencer and more buttons.
