Specifications are available everywhere, to make it a simple drum machine and not a midi sequencer (the EA1, ES1 EM1 and new generations can fulfill this role). It sends information noon and therefore can be connected to a sampler for example, but only for drum kits. Because we can not place the pitch. Placed through the trigger buttons at the bottom of the parts. Unlike most drum machines, this one has a personality because it has four parts that are not synthesized samplées. We have access to synthesis parameters very basic but radical about sound decay, pitch, modulation (choice of the curve, speed and intensity), a level and a low boost. It was also a general delay (some might say yuck, but it is synchronized to the tempo of the blow to us doubling tripling quadrupling the rhythm pattern in the end as do electro djs and suddenly you have less respect for them as it is easy).

Top Notch is the automation that is recordable on the fly and returned immediately. The transition from one pattern to another is immediate and is done very naturally. Each pattern has its own kit ie 8 parts specifically for this parameterized patern. The sound possibilities are endless and you can even make a bass line (with the pitch button) if you are really brave.

The disappointment of this box are those who thought they had a midi sequencer. I repeat this is not a groove box, a drum machine is sexy. 9 So it's worth because its limitations are clearly announced and it has done its job.

UTILIZATION

The user. This is probably the simplest electronic instrument in the world. 4 or 5 and some useful features hidden make reading of the record relevant to the use of 100% but you can have fun at the débalage.

We chose a patern, it sets the tone of the parties, placed his trip along the patern (16 buttons, 4 * 16 per game and possible triggers patern), you press play and it just again change everything on the fly , record the movements of the knobs is restored automatically, it tampers with any balance is a big delay at random, surprise, it fits really well into the rhythm, it is basically anything that sounds with a big personality.

SOUNDS

We like it or not but I love big kicks synthesized, even the parts samplées (cymbals) can be completely transformed, the delay is musical, and the modulation has an effect on the sound radiucal: moving from a kick a snare, a gurgling electro sound in all directions ....

the only pb is that the snares are sorry but I still love them. They are synthesized so it is a white noise with a big attack, electro than it can I'm in love ...

ER1 will you marry me?
