It's a groovebox (brushed aluminum and not white, as suggested by the picture) consists of 5 modlisation indpandants synths. One for the bass drum (monaural), one for the snare (monaural), one for the hi hat (duotimbral), one for percussion (poly 12 parts) and one for the bassline / lead (monaural).
Equip only to a pair of mono outputs (2 outputs expansion board + 2 optional input). For MIDI, the classic trio (not that of Pizza Hut, right).
All synths are indpendants ditables and are, with some of paramtres directly controllable in real time via the pots. Small regret, only the sections have a bassline and perceived control of the filter via a knob ddi for the other sections, you must press a button before turning the knob (my God this is serious, and pnalisant counterproductive, .... lol!).
Cot effect, a + y 'has two EQ (1 - reverb / delay, 2-Chorus/Flanger).
The squenceur is really good. This is one of the famous rplique squenceurs the Roland TR X0X/TB303/MC202 (well I never touch a TB303 or MC202 but like Rebirth anyway!). In short it's really intuitive and greatly contributes crativit. In any case I was a drum grid prfre Cubase!
UTILIZATION
Fairly easy to use. Editing is done by the pots and menus and a notched wheel. Good point, no need to exit the edit paramtre to edit a different sound: simply activate the section concerned and it is immediately to the right place in the menu (eg to switch PAN PAN bassdrum in the snare, one button is enough). I advise nanmoins a software publisher (ed309, a freeware), which avoids the dfile Wallpapers (2 lines).
As for the manual, I have a translation of a German version made by a fan so it's not perfect, but overall it is fairly bine didactic and sometimes tinged with a touch of humor!
SOUNDS
Well, that's not to make the salsa that thing! For the lover of his electro and techno there's nothing wrong, even if it is not innovative trs. That sense imitate the 303 (Hum. ..) 909, 808 and 606. For the 606 I had (so I can compare) it's pretty Fidler. For a 909/808 is well worth all the possible sample banks. As against the accumulation of 303 will be ironed. But hey, we can do without the techno TB!
There is a filter and two filters rsons 24bd/oct 12bd/oct high pass and low pass 12dB/oct supplied with one of two cards extansion following a bassline / lead, and percussions. They are respectively duotimbrale monophonic and bringing the total poly 19
OVERALL OPINION
I really like the look (and more can the rack with the Qure ad-hoc). Sounds .. say that there's no surprise, are expected electro percussion, it is served. The synth part is anecdotal, but even when his Intrets. His squenceur is terrible. For cons I have an AIM output section (even with only a extansion 4).
The default sounds minimal and nothing n'enlvent Intrets the machine. More l: http://www.quasimidi309.de.vu/
