The result you will be there.

Editing sounds and effects is it easy?

-Yes to the pros I pense.Mais I can for my inexpérience.J despite my testing, I triturated and strength to test the possibilities, the machine is often a better idea than I had originally . The possibilities are truly enormous.

The manual is clear and sufficient?

"It is more than manuel.Il is very well done and it will be necessary even for experienced musicians instrument.Le better understand this is to print the manual (in PDF is a bit stuffing) and do all the exercises until they have understood (I still have a bulk of work still ...). It&#39;s the only way out without tearing too much hair ... If necessary, 2 forums on this site are very active and will answer many of your questions.Le manufacturer does not mind either to enlighten you but only in English or German.

SOUNDS

The sounds they are suitable to your style of music? Are they realistic?

"It is always subjective tastes and couleurs.Mais rendering is amazing ... I am fortunate to have an amp and speakers (and neighbors) that follow and I never heard anything like it . It&#39;s mind-blowing! The analog synth and countless creative possibilities will allow you to make your own sons.Des fatter with more fins.Cette machine can adapt to all styles of music.

The effects are they effective and responsive?

Most

Instrument-built by hand (which is rare in the era of chinoiserie) with electronic components for high-end enthusiasts.

-The fact that this type of machine allows people to strum like not knowing me to still make beautiful compositions.

His large-autosuffisance.Ayant back problems, I just need a cable jack / RCA 3 m to the junction mixer / sofa and it is my definition of happiness ...

-The hybrid synth has many parameters that lead to the creation.

The sequencer-synth hybrid

Low-encombrement.C is a Swiss Army knife that includes a large number of fonctions.Ce I really like because free outlets are becoming a rare commodity in my ...

The PC-only serves to import / export of samples.Je prefer knobs to field mouse ...

-The manual (available in French).

-The availability of the manufacturer.

-The finishing bois.C is useless but I love ...


The -

-The management of internal memory is a little hard to understand ...

Screen-too petit.27 pages sub menus for the analog part ... Wow! Personally, I play only for plaisir.Mais for someone who makes live, you should still prepare ...

-I did not understand the "Step by Step" record ... I expect an explanation because I have a great need for sequences of DSP ...

Non-OS fini.Pas to overdub ... But it expected in the next OS.

The knobs-ask a little more responsive when you want to vary rapidly paramètres.De addition, they do not all very bien.Bah ... A piece of paper and you&#39;ll have it ...

-One or two more effects STP Jorg (next OS ???)...

-It will take patience to get one in France neuf.Introuvable currently due to launch another produit.Je wonder if I have not touched the latest model in stock in the world lol! The manufacturer has ceased production for an indefinite period ... But ... You can not just ask a small structure ...

-Handling difficult the first few days .. So, it spends all his time libre.Être single or married is essential ... I would have thought to look after the garden one day ...

"I have some latency issues to the record. I look again the response from the designer before I decide.

How would you rate the quality / price?

-One could say that it is expensive at first abord.2000 €, it&#39;s a sum that sûr.Mais given the capacity and the large number of integrated functions, it is very correct in most fond.De The manufacturer will offer to upgrade the hardware part in the V1 besoin.Les owners who sent in the making now have the same specifications as the V2.Les big boxes do not have this kind of politics ... I &#39;d be curious to see the price of a similar machine with a large sign ... But there is no equivalent I think ...

With experience, you do again this choice?

-I discovered by happy hasard.J &#39;I was so surprised by the sound reproduction that I just wish not to have done avant.Alors I answer yes to this question, despite these small défauts.Mais I know of no perfect instrument ... I repeat this advice in a while when I have gained some experience ... I attribute a score of 9 / 10 to the instrument all the same.
