General configuration easy to play "immediately" editing application we plustard spends some time

Manual irritating

SOUNDS

Sounds good multisample
pianos combined on 2 or 3 way with her fabulous little effect
the bass is correct
winds are very realistic
It is also a programmable drum machine quite remarkable
the strings are a little disappointing in the conbini used alone gives nice tablecloths
in all the sounds are quite correct references without being

OVERALL OPINION

I use it as the main expander on cubase 3 years with an Ensoniq SQ1 alesis QS6 and it's all good and deserved better known.
the superb sound effects processors
indestructible and well made no regrets I buy a without any problem (bought used 300euros)
