All the neccessary parameters are in there place, including EQ and Compression which are quite good for being built into a synth. Plus, Model Maker, the modeling software provides data linkage for your PC or MAC and allows users to create new (patches/oscillators) models from audio files/samples to download and use in your neuron. Whooah, imagine the possiblities....somebody stop me!!
Price paid: 3,800 USD
UTILIZATION
Well thought out, straight forward user interface with plenty of hands on tweaking controls and LED displays for reference. There is a slight learning curve with translating parameter names to what your used to. But thats isn't necessarly a bad thing as the synth itself is apart from the rest and the parameters do effect the sound in a slighty different way than your traditional synths. Thinking outside the box is a good thing in my book.
SOUNDS
Silky smooth and super clean from the ultra lowend to pearcing highs. Classic for sure. Sets nicely in the mix.
OVERALL OPINION
Rock solid, heavy duty, quite a beast, though the first one I ordered arrived D.O.A. due to jarring caused during shipping. The unit does have a hardrive inside and like any other, if its slammed around to hard the disks can slip causing malfunction. However AudioMIDI exchanged the unit no problem and the replacement arrived unscafed. I do advice an upgraded shipping method if you can help it!!
This machine can really open some doors of sound exploration. Straight out of the box your blown away but then after a while you began to recogonize the endless possibilties that lie before you. Being able to create your own models (patches/oscillators) lets this synth evolve into a truly personal sound machine. Cudos to Axle Hartmann and the design team!
