BAR Analog with:
- Part 3 (bassdrum / snare / Samples)
- 3 separate outputs + 1 main mix
- MIDI IN / OUT / THRU
- Analog Snare and bassdrum
- Part Samples 6bit (closed / open hihat, ride, clap, crash, rim)
- 2 LFO
- TR sequencer

etc ...

Good features, shame about the polyphony is limited to 3 and there is no section of Tom. To balance against this defect, the BAR has an excellent MIDI implementation as well as many knobs for live practice.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, everything is in front, each knob for each parameter.
English manual clear enough.

SOUNDS

Perfect for my style: Techno oldies.
The kick is excellent, the hats of 909 sound great, a little regret on the snare though.

OVERALL OPINION

I have for several months, I love the controls for real-time live, the big kick and hats of 909. I was looking for a clone of TR909 that rings with the XBase09 was one half of TR909 (2 times less output, less polyphony, no toms), but not perfect, is an excellent XBase09 BAR. Purchased approximately 600 euros, it's a bit expensive, but secondhand around 300/350 is a good quality / price ratio.

I would let myself be tempted by the XBase999 of the same brand that fills small gaps in the 09.
