The features says it all!
Attention to how this synth sysex who was one of the first to be completely ditables in this mode (instead of using small packet (64 rather than 256)). This synth is probably not bug-free (such as tr-909). His interfaage can be capricious in a modern studio. "Midi Communication Error".

The advantage if you use a master keyboard Roland A-xx (A-80 and A-90, etc.) is used directly without setup, thanks to the sysex mode.

It lacks a flat output has to bypass the effects (some ice), although it can also disable the effects

UTILIZATION

It is not to say that it is super simple, there is still the complexity of shipping if no lon software ad hoc! against by the joystick which is in my opinion it is a Russianness dinterfaage. It sure did laugh a little, a synth with a joystick! Put it up and start hacking, it's really nice that thing!!
SysExD50 remains the fastest software for the edition of sounds, and management of banks, I mean simple, fast and cheap. The internal routing would have been MRIT of being a little more hollow missing assignments at work on PCM. The PG-1000 is its surface CONTRL dpoque, which allows visually davoir paramtrage plutt quen knob in digital value, I think it's true ncessaire the programmer.

Point ngatif and restoration, cest dusure component aging, I do not pose problem synthscest restore my passion, but I regret the whole range of this era of Roland SAVINGS small knobs on linear trs trs low-end (Likewise, the low profile alpoque uses almost the first prize), the snaps are just average. The keyboard nest not bad, not great either nest (it is lgrement ballast), the ribbon is hard to pass daftertouch years. Rubber Contact Strip The keys are almost all clean or change to regain VLOC. The hatch has memory card is pointing Fawn dusts and swallow well cest russia! connectivity gnralement noon is a synthetic substitute, especially if the shot (set in the decision). Srigraphie painted quite fragile, it would have the same solidity as srigraphie larrire used on the synth (though stronger due to marketing!).

Lintrieur bte this is quite complex and dense, I think ending for a tutorial on how to restore this synth (including finding the spices dtach). He asks really work and it's worth

WARNING if you change the battery off you lose the sounds Dusina! you can recharge them with SysExD50 (factory preset)

SOUNDS

The surprise there is a fall on his ass. is a pure synth! making synth sounds. You go up in the factory presets many sounds heard many times (I-11 Fantasia, used in the Mac Giver SERIES, I-81 in Direct by Vangelis - The Will Of The Wind etc.)
Some sounds are really big, dharmonique stuff, sometimes hard to mix but what is the juice inside!!

OVERALL OPINION

Despite the age synth that is (was) a must, it is far from has-been, if we take the time to program a few banks to customize the plant too much time listening. Given the price is purchase a can not miss, must be a little handy and you'll almost "like new". I always take a lot of fun to play on it, it is one of my favorite synths! araprendre is surely something of this synth compared to today's modern synths.
