- The Streichfett is a module "desktop" powered by USB (+ wall outlet adapter) interface.
- It has 2 distinct sections that generate the sounds.
- The sounds range from ethereal to "percussive" or otherwise.
- Effects are classqiues for this type of machine, but unstoppable, I'll come back (Ensemble / Chorus + Reverb Phaser + + Animate (for the latter see below)).
- There has all controllers facade (10 knobs, selectors 6 and 5 buttons).
- Connectors Stereo out (or mono, of course), midi in and out (saw).
- No publisher to my knowledge but no need, actually.
- Polyphony 128 voices on the String part and 8 votes out of the solo part, if I'm not mistaken (not enough fingers to test), short ample.

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is very simple since all editing functions are under the fingers via the above-mentioned controllers.
- The manual is complete, amber, but complete.
- Some functions rely on a combination of buttons / actions (midi channel, split noon dump Pitch Bend etc. ..)
- The unit has 4 slots on three preset banks, for a total of 12 presets. The backup is very simple, it consists of a long press on the desired selection with the bank's support preset button (A, B or C) via the dedicated switch.

SOUNDS

- Sounds suit me perfectly, the effects are clearly formidable.
- I love all the sounds of this module.

In detail:

We can obviously get strong strings / pads / drawn sounds and "space" effects, but to my surprise I was able to get the string with beautiful lead "housey" through the casing section and unconventional strumming chords , a little at a Walt J, great and really great though!

In terms of its purpose (making rope), I have no basis for comparison on hand (machine-string) but a musical culture imprint of this type of machine, for comparison with the Strechfeitt, and I find it stunning anyway!

The String section has been created with great attention to detail with regard to sound quality. Select the type of basic sound via the knob "registration" by putting in a sound type to another imppecc, especially since this knob (registration) is seen wearing a LFO via the Animate effect) turning the rotary "Depth" by selecting in advance the effect of "Animate" and you begin to feel the life that infuses this cheap black and pink module and that's good. When we chose her his (yes), remains to be determined the effects (phaser / reverb / animate and together). Left hand extended like a string right hand like a wandering sucks on the leg of a hitchhiker and there, there, LA ..... magic, close your eyes and you can see through the angels of the past, c ' is beautiful, dreamlike, disturbing or even almost bucolic, sometimes I dream!

Solo section, to the chagrin of Master Cappelo (which is stila?) Offers 8-voice polyphony, can be played in split with choosing the lowest score / high, and layer. This section provides a dedicated envelope with selector envelope type (with or without sustain, ideal for sculpting sounds of percussion or keyboards).
To choose the type of sound in this section, we are offered a rotary "tone" the aptly named. It will slide like the string section of a sound to another smoothly and is frankly for our happiness. This section will be increased by two effects. Tremolo add movement and give a more organic side to this part, the reverb of the string section also applies, as well as its settings, this generator.

I still have to find an analog stereo filter now ..

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it since yesterday morning.
- This is my first machine string (Paris Hilton).
- I like everything in this module, and nothing has been disagreeable to me.
- The Q / P is totally unexpected.
- With experience, I would do this choice.

One might regret:

It lacks settings for different effects, it generally has a button that dose depth / delay and sending into effect. Fortunately, as stated in the manual, these "presets" have been well developed and are actually very nice: they also give character to the whole, and we will recognize of 1000, with the usual.
It also lacks a filter, but given the price of the device, I quibble.


It does not seem to have already put the maximum rating to a device, but this time, I give up!
