UTILIZATION

Cheap keyboard trs,
Mon Voil the major problem of this synth keyboard is really trsdsagrable. made toy! Those with sensitive use keyboard matre play games or have pianos, dj arrter can read this review and look to the competition or about S08 touch and piano ( even if more expensive). In the same price range, Roland keyboard offers quality professional with the RS5 or JUNO D.

The interface Careers News nest not very logical nor intuitive. You will have to dive into the manual itself trs not clear. However it is true that the search function of presets by CATEGORY, once understood is trs friendly. The S08&#39;s nest not joggle Submitted Acesta and shame.

For ldition, an app is normally delivered on CD ROM. Except that in mine, no trace of CD ROM. Do not panic tlchargeable EST on the website of YAMAHA. I urge USE OF THE software for those who want to change the sounds of bestiolle!
(And incidentally Tlcharger the new bank of patches offered by Yamaha, there are trs beautiful synth sounds.

OCTAVE button + / - is a nice find.

The wheels are still the Yamaha and Submitted ajaime much. Where sr is well used to the lon pitchbend of Roland, there is a time CC adaptation.

Edition level in real time, it no nya. Cest a shame! The Juno D has her pots. However some patches on the modulation wheel to change the sound.

As for the Fast Fashion patches must prciser quil paramtres are many more on the Yamaha S03 as the Juno D.

SOUNDS

The pleasant surprise of the S03, cest quil uses the same audio engine as the S08. I havent a S08 on hand to compare. But the list of patches is the same, and Mrs. Russ jai forward to s03, s08 of Multi patches in sysex. He accepts and reproduced without problem. If Someone has a S08 and I can dump the presets, quil make me sign!

Enter the heart of the matter, how sound the S03?

Acoustic Pianos
I find the original post trsdcevants Acoustic Piano for the game solo. Cest not raliste, flat and cheap. It is far from the trs beautiful patches of Piano Juno D As against a noys squence, they spend like a letter in the mail. Sometimes even better than the Juno D tend ringing too fat. That said fiddling with the presets, adding a bit of reverb, it is possible amliorer Dusina patches. Still, the acoustic pianos are really the weak point of the machine.

Electric Pianos
The Ep are many enjoyable Varis and trs. The presets sound Dusina trs dry, then add a bit of reverb and chorus to enjoy it. In lensemble, they sound less punchy / low freq that the EP JUNO D but DX really sound like that DX is not the case of competition.

Organs
Cest undoubtedly the highlight of the S03! The big slap! The above and in this price range, the S03 is unbeatable. The juno D example is unable to go out drinking a hammond. If you are a crazy Lorgues, adopt an S03.

Accordion
The again, the S03 SimPose no problem on competition Korg and Roland. Cest music and trs trs trs going well.

Strings
There is good and less good, the bad view. However cest dj better than the section of my strings Bacle JUNO D. Jaime many preset Quartet.

Brass
The S03 still SimPose without any problem. Cest new ultra-musical, which has rings!

Low
The bass is really above the basket. Cest prcis, trs dynamic and never falls into the Woooowwww effect. Advantage S03!

Guitars
L on the other hand, cest least jojo! Good sound and the presets are Nylon. But the limits are positively electric. The ridiculous and has sat in dire strats!

Synthbr /> The synth presets are many and varied quality trs. Again, Yamaha, it is downright stingy in effect presets Dusina.  So enjoy the three effects rested on the machine, and ring your S03 as it should. Voices Choir and the ridiculous passes, there are ways to cool him out of scrolls and sheets of nice solos.
