Value For Money : Excellent
- What characteristics have motivated your choice?
First, situational characteristics: Catch my firewire Motu who have dropped! : S
The need for a "small map" emergency repair what!
Then the small price for the TC, the fame of TC in the treatment of her, the Desktop side, the meter for ...

- For what purpose?
To milk the cows! ;)

- Which instruments and systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) you use it and how connections? ...

Quite simply, my table in between Onyx and the all clear on my HS80 ...
I use it with keyboards, guitars, bass, percussion, microphones ...
So: two output jacks, 2 in, 1 headphone jack dispatcher sent to a multi-headphone jack and firewire for power supply and the reverb!

Nothing to report!

No particular problem encountered to date.

- Are they often updated?
I've had too little time and it is a relatively new product so ... what was the question?

It depends on the chosen frequency!
But ... low and comfortable anyway!
- How many tracks you get to record / play time? ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few days ...
Its addition, the side "to everything" combined with a good sound ...
Moreover, since we do not ask myself the question ... I will tell you that my impression is this: Having a Firebox and a Motu (in repair ... ) ... I would say that the sound coming out of this little card paid less than 230 euros is certainly far less detailed than the hot Motu but ... not that much compared to the Firebox has it, a very cold ...
The Konnekt6 is thus placed in a better position than the firebox made in terms of overall sound and below the Motu ... The Konnekt has a lower pan, is a little less "hot" ... But we are dealing here with a very good deal since the Konnekt is cheaper than the Firebox, it comes with the Cubase4 and reverbs (accessible from the desktop) TC bill that has more to do name in this field.
I do not know how many presets there, but I can tell you that these reverbs are based on the "Hall", the "Room" and the "Plate" ... all of which are programmable with multiple parameters ... Function buttons and pre / post premettent save them or not.
The report is only good for someone like me, that does not require ten entries on the card and needed a good map at a lower cost! Time or months to repair my Motu ...
But I know that this little TC will not be lost! as it turns out to be very usable for the mobile ... the Motu at home ... TC's journey ... it can be done ...
One last little thing, the large button is used to manage the volume ... more you turn the turn, the more he "illuminated"!
A little gadget but fun ...
This ... good card with a very good quality / offers / prices ...
Ideal for people who do not want an "intermediate" level of good! Ideal also as the first sound card if one is already equipped to treat MIDI and we do not want to ruin!
on the other hand, to note: no MIDI! But at a time when everything is done usb ... not so surprising as that! ;)
