Value For Money : Poor
. What type of keyboard (synth, piano ...)? How many octaves?
Digital synthesizer, apparently 3 octaves
. What connection (Audio, MIDI pedals ...)?
A headphone jack with 3.5 and two audio outputs left and right RCA and then the entry for the transformer 4.5 V which is bought separately
. Via a utility Mac / PC?
Not editing via computer
. What controllers (pitch, modulation, sustain ...)?
It depends on his choice, but you can change the velocity, the pitch, the cutoff ... this is crazy!
. How many sounds, effects? What styles? Are they edited?
Sounds, effects and styles as follows: the lead and acoustic bass and effects agreements battery modules and drum pattern (about 10 or 15 presets for each). Uh not editable rather pulpable depending on the area that you caress the pad
. What polyphony? ...
One note at a time except for those agreements which are already created with more notes.
Besides this non-polyphony is a bit crippled compared to the use of the arpeggiator. It would have been cool to put three fingers on the pad to enrich a few arpeggios.
Nothing here that because the note down to 9 / 10

UTILIZATION

. The general configuration is simple?
Yes in all .... Once we spent an hour in the store to test the bike a bit after seeing some demos in video on youtube, we found it quickly
. The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
I thought I would have to translate from Japanese or English to learn how to tame the beast, but there 's not very French. It's very short, but ultimately the bottom line is stated. A complete list of sounds with the setting changed as a function of X or Y axis and even a small cardboard with various patterns of the arpeggiator and the full name of each band (3-character code + name correct). It helps a little.
. Editing sounds and effects is easy?
There's taking time to tickle the different areas of the pad musicogenic to hear the reaction to the sound.

Edit of 02/25/2010:
4514 said "I regret the inability to delete without any clear sound recording"
Oh yes it is true and suddenly the score should drop to 7 / 10 but given that this little toy is already capable of, and seen how I'll use it no big deal I'm not going to be very cruel ... 8 / 10
