I broke down and ben ... And finally me my first module all analog ... At the moment I plug the stereo MicroKorg and I must say I am amazed ...

Designed with a filter sequencer ... A cutoff in steps (8 total), a button to manage the stereo space ... Yes, I said stereo!

In terms of connectivity it's all midi in jack +. For the power supply is a common transformer.

Otherwise the buttons are spaced enough and can act on a parameter without kicking off the next parameter.

UTILIZATION

The manual = two A4 sheets. Very easy to use, it's easy to see which parameter affects another. (Contour acting on the attack and sustain)

The use is very intuitive. Important note, the sequencer is a +. We are not obliged to engage (which I was afraid at first ...).

There are several modes for analog sequencer (trigger, noon, 1 / 4, etc. Self ...)+ a button that glide + attractive ...

So simple and sufficient for complex sequences!

SOUND QUALITY

This is a good filter. There's nothing to say. It is music. Can be very sweet to be very aggressive (by acting on the contour and emphasis)

+ What I like is that compared to other modules MFB (I had the synth2 one week) it is very noisy. So you can really get in the low frequency background noise residual.

So also good for recording. I put 7 because there will always be better.

OVERALL OPINION

So there. I can only put a 10.

I got it secondhand for a few - expensive than the new. And at this price, it's a bomb! The advantage is that it transforms the signal source, or in a very discreet, is so radical.

In my opinion, compared to other filters, versatility is a real +.

And that price, we offer an all analog sequencer. Seriously, we must be dreaming. MFB thank you anyway to be able to democratize this elitism analog! In addition it does not come from China!

If you can not afford for Vostok and other M5 and are looking to add a grain to your existing machines (even the Bontempi it will do) and ben you will not be disappointed ...

Update 2006

I exchanged against an AKAI MFC42 filter used to me eventually that few of the sequencer.
A single point. I'm really not disappointed. After that, it's only stuff ...
