As previously stated characteristics are easily on the net, but basically a groovestation c, a mix between a synth and a BAR (drum machine).
256 factory presets, 128 user (why not the other way around? Is frankly bad, finally, especially for those who use it as a groovebox).
UTILIZATION
Almost easy to take control of (physical), but according to FM synthesis, we must cling. This is mainly why I bought it to have a real FM synth with more options, basically an FM synth halfway between the DX7 and FM7 or DX7 <DX200 <FM7.
The drum machine is a plus that is a little gadget but not be using (for proof, I use a factory preset, which I retrafiqué a little synth sound).
The manual is quite clear regarding the use, after it has you to understand the craft, especially in synthesis.
SOUNDS
Aaaaah FM. When I read the previous opinion, it's nice to see the experts who have purchased above the base because it's a synth. As I said above (and as we read in other reviews) is a DX7 a lot further. Deja was a kind of distortion with a choice of tube, stack, combo etc. ..... with a mini 2-band eq I think. Cradifier already, it's nice;
behind it was yet another effect to the choice of flange, delay, reverb, chorus, and distortion rather re-violent lol. 2 knobs to adjust the effects, a little chick, but the effects are mainly used to enrich the sound, and in addition they are not bad, so why deprive yourself?
What I also like this synth (yes I consider it as a synth), it actually has the appearance of both subtractive synthesis with envelopes, filters, etc. ...... and appearance groovebox- turning the knob, and I transformed the sound, because yes, any increment button changes the sound dramatically.
This is also why I bought it (the experimental magnet, we can not find a better deal, or so).
Do not trust the factory presets. Knowing that entering the yahoo group, you can rechoper of the DX7 sysex already formatted for the DX200, am I not know how many sounds (usually 32000 but since there are duplicates .......... ..............).
OVERALL OPINION
It's been a year since I use it, I love it too. There is nothing to take, if not loading / sending sound of the beast is a long. 1min30 rely almost!! But hey, sounds catches. I even let a friend play with that recorded during an improv, he has managed to make me one of his musical saw by turning the knobs, and I could not save. All that to say that it is a synthetic full of surprises.
I bought it for sounds cheap/80 's experimental and knowing that FM synthesis since the 80 has remained in its infancy. As soon as I can, I buy a fs1r, I sign a Efferalgan a life, I buy a wig for the hair I tear myself (remember, 8 fm synthesis operators combined with formants, with 3000 parameters of sound and a pokey rack with 4 buttons for any edition)
