Synth, 5 octaves
Controllers pitch, modulation, sustain + 8 faders assignable to parameters effects but should not expect the very playable with the faders ...
Left Right Out 2, Headphones
600 sounds about
80 effects if I remember correctly
The sound is sytle "nineties" for the worst and the best universal. This means that some sounds can be very well made in a mix, a lot of character ... I find that many sounds are free to be inspiring, it plays three notes, it sounds and we want to develop. Attention they are people who are old fashioned enough to be can never become "vintage" but the effects can even give them a role.

Big polyphony ... (it's not accurate but the sounds can be played with lots of notes at the same time, there's no restrictions ...)
Too bad we're not eight separate outputs, but that's not the custom synths.

UTILIZATION

It takes two piecewise effect (not by sound) and 8 sounds piecewise
I never really used the sequencer, I bought used in 1996 and have used it with a Cubasis at the time life was beautiful, no VST and having no sampler of songs I made endless, constantly evolving, as I listen again with plenty of nostalgia. I was just playing the synth sound is beautiful, or sounds old-fashioned (90s) but with distos or effects that humanizes.
There really sounds excellent in performance mode and I have never seen a plug that can offer them ... we understand, here there is no notion of vintage, it is about sounds that were put in a vocation earful in 1993 (when it was released I think).

SOUNDS

- The sounds they are suitable to your style of music?
For hip-hop pro too, unless you use it in addition, but if you just want to sound like everyone there 's way (that's why I readdressed over in 2009 ...) Even with the sounds of drums, if they are a little dirty ...

-The effects can be used ... of course, but I doubt that if interrested sy is not alone with a PC without a plug and unique as this synth orchestra.

- Very good expression is exactly the word I want to describe it, sounds are expressive, they tell stories ...

"I remember having done things on his fantastic playing ... velocity nor aftertouch

-There 's a good fifteen sounds for which I never would sell, too many memories ...

-Even the sounds that I hated ended one day in pieces!

OVERALL OPINION

Since 1996, from 2003 he did nothing more than midi keyboard but it's not really his fault ... my acid pro was working differently.
I know other synths, this one does not blush.
Value for money, considering the price OCCAZ is stupid to buy a MIDI keyboard without her when you can have this kind of machine ... I know of no plug that can offer these sounds there ... it costs when even 13,000 francs to its release (2000 euros).

If it stops working, I think I would find myself another.
