CHARACTERISTICS The can be found everywhere. It's a real pro synth with possibilities for Fast Fashion trs strained sound.

UTILIZATION

Note: I do not use the squenceur.

Operation is simplicity of dconcertante. The instructions are clear trs, just read it. Whether to edit the "programs", the "combis", the drumkits, the effects ... trs nothing is complicated (if you know the basics of sound synthse). The information on the screen sometimes seem arranged in bulk but it's no big deal.

SOUNDS

I love the sound of this synth should be careful because even the sound is quickly overwhelming if not properly back some of the tones are powerful trs. It is a reader samples of the beginning of the 90s, o weaknesses for reproductions of instruments. The strings do not sound trsralistes but crent a nice texture for example. So even sounds that rats appear to be used.

Here's how I use it: it is connected to MIDI squenceur my PC, which CONTRL several synths. The 01/WFD is put in "Sequencer" which allows accder directly to 16 MIDI tracks. No effect is activated it passes through the multi-purpose fitting my external mixer.

The sounds I prfre: the tubular bells, choirs, string ensembles, the positive organ, electric bass, or a marimba that I superimposed a flute sound, which gives a sound ok (near Fairlight sound used by Asia in 1982).

I do not like the electric pianos 01/WFD. The acoustic piano is used in a mix trs, but not too alone.

Brass and guitars against ... I use those sounds not a synth-l ... Well that this level is the the 01/WFD dbrouille not bad for the era.

The sounds are purely synthetic trs good overall (well, there is always a little dchet ...).

OVERALL OPINION

I've had about 2 years. If c'tait again, I Rasht one. He currently serves normment couple a Roland XP-80 full of expansion cards. It makes me 32 MIDI tracks to Get You Started is plutt lot (over the tracks on my cheeks monotimbraux synths).

Attention to the keyboard and the keys that famous "stick" (c - d dating trs slowly when they are released). A vrifier at the time of purchase, then lubricate or if you have the patience to disassemble the machine. I might be attacked me one day, although I play some trs on the keyboard (I CONTRL all over the XP-80 and Cakewalk).
