What connection (audio, MIDI ...)?
MIDI input, not output, shame! Line input, which was one wonders how it can serve ... In the manual they say to mix with a CD player, I do not mind ... lol If it's classic.

How many sounds, styles available? Are they edited? Through a utility Mac / PC?
A bank of sounds comfortable even if they are clearly identifiable for the most part ... I use it as basis for software processing in the ass, and it is true that it provides a fast rendering that sounds very urban. no editor of my knowledge, it is indeed not editable samples.

He has an effects section?
Reverb, EQ, multiband compressor (3). Parameters editions are still quite extensive. Only the reverb is affectuée instrument, the other effect is on the master.

What are the characteristics of the sequencer? ...
Simple, direct game programming, or no thanks to technology developed by Intuitive zoom (not tested yet). It is programmed well. Quantization customizable, everything is well thought out.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple?
Very simple.

Editing sounds and effects is easy?
Limited to sound, so yes, easy. It is easily his kit home. Slightly more complex effects on them if we look, we need a minimum of knowledge in treatment.

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

That of the RT-223 with the addition of 246 ... in french, comprehensive, easy to understand.

SOUNDS

The sounds they are suitable to your style of music?
As an adjunct yes, the bank is very complete.

Are they realistic?
Uh yeah, but no. What is hiphop.

The effects are they effective and appropriate?
AC can give relief, but not enough to be left satisfied.

The expression is good? (Response to velocity, aftertouch)?
AC responds quite clearly ... A flat, I put it here: live for the game, unlike its big sister the 323, no way to transfer an instrument ... it means creating as many as there are pattern decomposition rate and this is kind of annoying, especially when one wants to catch the studio and we have a pattern quite complete ... As the bike backup automatically, you can not go back and break down the pace without losing everything ... Good morning to get the instruments in divided doses is the shit!

What are the sounds you prefer, you hate? ...
I'd say the guitars finally instruments other than pure rhythm you got the quick tour ... Runway low idem, the 20 sounds are quickly tiresome. But it makes a database. Too bad we can not route the following trick to another synthesizer or to an outdoor bar for lack of midi output.

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
A good week

What thing do you like most/least about it?
it's a funny box that allows you to quickly find ideas, easy to program and clearly colored urban.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I had a Electribe ER1 whose sounds were totally different force (analog emulation) and I synths with rhythmic booster kit (DX200 sounds for hiphop / break for the kits and kawai "realistic") but I uses it mostly VSTi (AraldFX DKS hammer of impulse and especially of live). This provides a good complement boiboite among others thanks to its classical programming but fast. Damage (once again) that we can neither transfer nor the instruments of the south route to the outside.

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
good, expensive spa.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
yes totally. AC is a good grade!
