Hartmann Neuron - FP User's review
Too many to mention. There are tons of realtime controls (knobs, joysticks, and continuous wheel controls galore). There are also a great deal of LEDs and status lights to let you really know what's …
Yamaha SY22 - FP User's review
Vector control is good if you spend the time. Price paid 850 CAD UTILIZATION Easy to use but then i've had it for 10 years this thing will never break SOUNDS Synth sounds are metallic. rhodes …
Yamaha S03 - FP User's review
The features, as i said before, mean the difference between songs sounding very "keyboardish" and trite to sounding very professional. The feature that adds character to the individual inst…
Yamaha EX5 - FP User's review
A whole world of synthesis (EX: expanded synthesis) lot of techniques to make sounds, but not very friendly to integrate as one. Sampling is very cool with the EX5, but the memory capabilities are ve…
Yamaha DX7 - FP User's review
It has pretty good features considering the age of this classic. Velocity and aftertouch. Breath control, portamento, sustain and modulation inputs as well. Not bad. 16 voices, 6 operator FM, 5 octav…
Yamaha DX7 IID - FP User's review
For the price it is really well specced. Compression on every channel, 2 effects busses, 16 inputs etc etc. Price paid £1000 UTILIZATION Really really easy. The manual is amongst the best I have …
Yamaha CS6X - FP User's review
All the right features are there. I feel the sampling is a little extraneous. The keys are nice and bouncy although a little narrow. Plenty of presets and sound control. Having the plug in board opti…
Yamaha CS2X - FP User's review
Playing a sound on a intrument without being able to change the sound is good if you like the sound and this keyboard can apply more reverb and effects to its sounds if you are uncomfortable with the…
Yamaha CS1X - FP User's review
My big dissapointment is that to use the good performance sounds, you have to be in performance mode, and that mode is monotimbral. Other wise you can use up to 4 XG sounds at once in multi mode. Ver…
Waldorf MicroWave XTk - FP User's review
Lots of features, much more depth than an 'ordinary' VA. A nine because i wish it had a vocoder. Price paid AU$ 1650 UTILIZATION The manual was alright, didn't use it much, still don't unless i'm…
Roland XV-88 - FP User's review
It has almost everything. But if I must : a sequencer. I don´t really miss one since I use cubase, but for a price like that, you would expect the roland people to include some kind of sequencer. Oth…
Roland XP-80 - FP User's review
There are an abundant of features that are tweakable and fun to manipulate. $800 UTILIZATION It's a Roland. There instruction manual sucks. Bought the video, the rest was cake. Haven't gigged it,…
Roland XP 60 - FP User's review
Yeah, but I think it should have some fatter BASS sounds. $500.00 UTILIZATION Very easy to use SOUNDS Ok OVERALL OPINION I like it and would recommend it Originally posted on FutureProducers.…
Roland XP-30 - FP User's review
Like most Roland products, the menus are very detailed and suffisticated. You have to get used to them. Might take you a couple of hurs to figure out how to create your own patch from scratch. But it…
Roland XP-50 - FP User's review
A 16 track midi sequencer is usually adequate for most situations. However the XP is best when used as a soundsource...or even a scratch pad that is sync'ed up to a more capable sequencer...whether t…
Korg Prophecy - FP User's review
It reintroduced ribbon controls on synths. Has whut Korg called the LOG, basicly a pitch control wheel (centered)with the said ribbon control on it. It also has 2 more wheels and 4 knobs... 1995 or 1…
Korg N1 - FP User's review
Alot of bells and whistles as im pretty sure that the architecture was used in the design of the Triton rack, well the original one anyway. However i could use a floppy drive or maybe even a small sa…
Korg M1 - FP User's review
The M1 is twenty years old now, and has a basic 16 channel midi implementation only, as well as pitch bend and modulation.It does have four outputs which isn't bad for an old synth and a card slot fo…
Hartmann Neuron - FP User's review
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 yo…
Ensoniq Halo - FP User's review
The master arppegiator is awesome. An arppegiator that works as a pattern sequencer on individual 16 channels, the features are easy to reach and. With the beats groove mode, you can create really or…
E-MU MK-6 - FP User's review
I see another reviewer gave a 1 for features.... I dont know what you expect from a synth. Yeah, it has no sequencer, but neither do most synths. Long story short, it has the features it needs. Pric…
Casio CZ-1 - FP User's review
I wish there were more modulation sources than just the vibrato. The vibrato is very editable and does alot to help fatten things up but an LFO or 2 would have made this a trully killer sound design …
Alesis QS7 - FP User's review
A 76-note keyboard with 4 assignable sliders, Very good effects with great routing possibilities. 4 samples per patch. Good lfo's and envelops. Very poor filters with no resonance!! Two expansion slo…
