- What kind of keyboard (synth piano ...)? How many octaves?

5-octave keyboard, nimble keys, and pressure sensitivity paramtrable VLOC. It is equipped with polyphonic aftertouch dun, which is used to control the pressure note by note. I like the User master keyboard for over 10 years: no buttons and dfectueuses laftertouch still works, so I think lon can Whereas the keyboard is of good quality trs.

- What Controller (pitch, modulation, sustain ...)?

The VFX is fitted dune wheel pitch bend and modulation, as well as patch-select buttons 2 are DIFFERENT utiliss to select groups of channels in a same program.

A footswitch input jack to connect the pedals or optional SW-1 SW-5.

22 deffets algorithms combined (reverbs, chorus, flanger, delay, rotary, distortion).

- Via a utility for Mac / PC?

The intrt trs is relative since the control interface is very well Designed VFX.

UTILIZATION

Yes, the system settings nont not rocket science.

SOUNDS

- The sounds they agree your style of music?

Yes and No. ..

No to the presets that are Dusina got my inintressants see unnecessary, given what I&#39;m looking for my compositions.

YES, if one takes the trouble to program the sounds, then the grave has become more INTERESTED!

- Are they ralistes?

They taient good for lpoque (late 80). Today, the flutes, organs, electric pianos and sax are all usable but is level ism nest in no way comparable to major banks facing multi-sampled sounds that lon is TODAY hui.

To me, everything just so intrtrside in programming sounds non practitioner.

- The effects are they effective and responsive?

Yes! especially the chorus 8 votes, flanger, rotary speaker, and reverbs are excellent! ny quil damage have not lalgorithme the phaser. The bcanne is fitted the same DSP as the famous DP4. The algorithms are ditable, programmable, and scalable routable in real time, although less numerous than on the effect of multi-brand, the effects are good trs.

- The expression is good? (Raction VLOC the aftertouch)?

Well yes! same excellent!

- What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest? ...

Waves as the basic sine / triangle / square are really fat and bring the body to the sound. Other forms donde PCM type strings, brass, bass, percussion or inharmonic, and the samples Transwave (donde spectral variation modular forms) and the Multi-wave which is a form capable of reproducing donde all forms donde contained in the machine, one after the other, in what sense nimporte, with the possibility to start and finish nimporte how to add memory hum complment rcratif good!

For the possibility of synthse, there is roughly from 3 envelopes, 1 LFO (7 forms donde) and two filters (PB and PH is effective all) by its many paramtres are flexible in real time. Synthse part is actually almost identical to that lasr10.

With a little dimagination, we can then get absolutely dmentielles puique textures are available by 6 gnrateurs of his program, and it is possible dempiler up three programs in one preset ... this synth is well suited for particulirement explorations type large textures layers and curls. The Multiwave Transwave and are consumed without modration.

OVERALL OPINION

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

As:

SOUND! .. Hot, the characters, typical analog, in short it is enjoyable loreille trs and thus contributes normment mlodique Linspire. Jai OF USE used for a lot of software in my compositions, but it must be said the quen-term sound and musical we are in another dimension!
Lalim pretty hot, which is made enjoyable in winter PERIOD!

A minimum:

A bit of breath out. Some keyboards have sries known calibration problem, but I dont ever known to crash for me.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

Yes. The models of lpoque all in the same price range, but dx11 javais an earlier ana see anything.

- How do you report qualitprix?

In 1990, the synth my cot almost 3000 Euros. The hill is today doccasion between 200 and 400 euro because its a little-known synth. The report qualitprix is ​​unbeatable!

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

Of course
