    and yes it's pretty froid.mais this is offset by a beautiful grain, very fit dedans.il does not pale in comparison to an Oberheim, I am the same effect, it makes me want to pummel him his buttons . the filter provides a very character trempé.certe synthesis does not do things delirious, it's playing sample, but the internal waveforms are from famous synthesizers, Oberheim andc.A machine has a block ame.le effect is very beautiful finesse.tres more value.il Just listen to the demo internally to get an idea of ​​the potential machine.il be programmed to do pretty sons.meme the most powerful synth monde.je put 10 for the note because it is one of my synths sound like I like preferés.ca

    OVERALL OPINION

    The keyboard is 61 keys average quality (worse than the keyboard of the M1, better than DX7)
    Pitch bend, modulation, portamento keys, solo, and transposes
    All parameters are ditables in real time via a slider / paramtre
    64 sounds possibility of extension housing rom / ram M256
    internal effects
    Polyphony, but I do not know limit (24 I think)

    UTILIZATION

    Trs simple as a slider for the settings ...

    SOUNDS

    A HUGE MEGA BIG SOUND IN BREATHTAKING EVEN TODAY
    The audio standard is 80/90 in this machine

    Do not try ralistes acoustic sounds, it is somewhat in the spirit of D-50:
    large tablecloths, sound synths ... but much more standard
    You guessed it I'm a fan!
    VLOC and aftertouch ok
    You want the sound to Jump by Van Halen, and although I put a cot Alesis QSR, a Korg 01W, a Korg Trinity V3 + Moss, a Korg M1, a Yamaha Motif, a Roland D-50, a Roland XP-80 ... Well there is no photo, it's JD, and far away ...... trs trs

    OVERALL OPINION

    Machine must!
    Only BMOL, the polyphony, and cursors that would tend to age poorly, but the sound is so standard ...
    DEFINITIONS A. It is the synth if I had to keep just one, it would be him!
    Aside from the fact that it is not versatile.

    The CHARACTERISTICS are known and for those who do not know, There is a lot o sites are Retailer, I will not repeat them.
    I would add that this is just one of 91 synthesis and internal memory space is somewhat limited for those who want to do a lot of Fast Fashion. But tight deadlines to afford a card to store your own sounds.

    I put 8 in the light of what is done auourd'hui, but for an era c'tait sacr bte beautiful!

    UTILIZATION

    All or almost sounds custom settings are accessible directly, and the big advantage is that for the rest, there is no menu and sub menu ... It is a machine trs simple to use and its use is not boring like many synth out the same era. Finally, the manu…

    UTILIZATION

    All or almost sounds custom settings are accessible directly, and the big advantage is that for the rest, there is no menu and sub menu ... It is a machine trs simple to use and its use is not boring like many synth out the same era. Finally, the manual is clear, explicit and very well done but hey I never do that when I open the trouble on a rsultat I can not get it.

    Dernire little thing: sometimes you take care to note the various court of Fast Fashion paramtres sound, because the efficiency of the filters is such that quickly finds himself the scene of a mile of who originally wanted to be close enough to the DSIR ... especially true for those who are beginners on their synthesis the amount of pot. gives envien touching everything. That said, we can sometimes make beautiful Discoveries through a mistake.

    I put 9 because nothing is perfect (if? Ah well ...)

    SOUNDS

    The sound is for me the highlight of this synthesis: they are effective, and many filters allow all fantasies. The effects give a little boost, but it's nice to ring in the bte dpart because without them apparently has viterai some surprises some people.

    This synth is a sound tool Fast Fashion possibilities are endless tration, and to tour request to move from trs many months, if indeed it ever be possible to go around ...

    Finally, we must not forget that this synth was released before the return of the great vintage fashion. Do not expect sound to blow the lights of an amp. All dpend of the user research. What I can say is that the sheets are beautiful, deep and wide, the bass is good, even if they are clearly synthetic ... but it is characteristic of a synth (I think)

    Bon bah I put the 10 because for what I do, well that's great!

    OVERALL OPINION

    As you can see, this synth features prominently in my studio and is undoubtedly one of my favorites.

    I use it virtually every day or away, and I've never had any problems with any pot. button or another.

    Recommended for lovers of sound research ...
