Best value:
Excellent
The functions that I tested:
- A percussion section of course very typical electro
- A section sufficiently advanced analog synth (3 oscillators, several types of modulation, ...) with an equivalent step sequencer
- 3 sections of effects we want as little chaining
- Sequencer
- Comprehensive MIDI implementation.
...
UTILIZATION
I do not know what type of machine, but the interface is well designed and used to it quickly.
The manual is fairly well designed.
I would put just a little flat on the use of functions mute / solo that is not always what you want (unless I still lack experience).
Recording from an external sequencer is possible but do not expect to record a melody. Done before for playing / recording rhythmic sequences (bass line, ...).
SOUNDS
The drum sounds are very good in a style electro / trance / dance.
On the synth part, you come to have bass sounds that sound good (still some electro style of course). Combined with the effects and the step sequencer (motion seq) we arrive to get really nice stuff that I think is impossible to obtain with another machine.
The lamps are used in my opinion not much. They tend to generate distortion and saturate the sound. JJ ECC83 with lamps, there is no such saturation, but I wonder what they serve.
OVERALL OPINION
This is my first machine of this type and I did that for a month but the possibilities seem endless.
For more traditional percussion and realistic we must turn to another machine but for the electro / trance / techno it's great.
Value for money good for about 300 € in opportunity (for a machine that had qu'1mois!)
