- Classic Trio twelve o'clock (in / out / thru) + a pair and 4 Stereo outputs additionnal.
- Sounds are rows into several families: TRX (rappproche is the roland TR, but not the mules, it is not the purpose of the machine as it is numrique, nothing see ...), E12 (idem, is close to the Emu SP12/1200 without imitating them), EFM (synthetic percussion) and PI (modlisation acoustic). We can also use the tracks in MIDI tracks (this is configured as a sound, we chose to drive on which channel the track instead of choosing a tone). Also three waveforms: sine, pulse (a square made with the hard phases of positive and ngatives is adjustable) and noise.
- Level effects, we must distinguish the effects available only on the main exit: compressor, reverb, delay and EQ 2 band. I do not use, I have an external processor. Otherwise, on each track there is a distortion, a bit rducer, a filter and an EQ band.
- The squenceur dconcertant is easy. His strength: the possibility to block a paramtres not particularly.

Only BMOL, a pattern can not excder two measures (circumvented with Song mode).

I would put 10 even when both the sound design possibilities perceived (and others) are great. Personally, I spend hours tweaking a rgal.

UTILIZATION

- Extremely simple configuration, visual trs.
- The edition sounds simple, it ncessite all of the same list of sounds paramtres each port dpart hand, the time to know them all, otherwise, c ' is a function button for the screen.
- The manual is quite clear and sufficient, if not errors of translation into francs. Nothing dramatic, you understand what am talking about.

SOUNDS

- The sound is kind, I should have done (hardtek, tribe). Hardcore looking for big potatoes will love.
- Sounds are not ralistes is the numrique, and means. Trs not adjust the jungle and all the style that uses sound practitioner. For these types the one he probably prfrera sampler.
- I do not use the effects of the machines.
- For expression, particularly squenceur blockages paramtres open large possibilities. But indeed, it is not possible to DCAL sounds fine (well, some have the Settings, but not all).
- I like the sound of this machine, it knows how many buggers.

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for a year.
- I love Lock Settings, express the sound that is offered but not least: I Do not press "stop". We can change everything as it rotates, including change from the "song" "pattern".
- I started with the good old MC 303 (I miss her, sisi I assure you), I continue with the 505, I state as the Korg Electribe (ER1 and EMX), the SPS1 is diffrent (it's a real bar, not a groove of course).
- Just when CHRE same, but it seems indestructible at the chassis, it's tolle. I say not as much on the knobs, but it is currently.
- I feel comfortable again, if I have not sold after a year is that I like it (in principle, has not last as long if I was not like ^ ^ ).

DEFINITIONS, this machine 10/10.
