2 in
8 out
twelve o'clock triplet
USB for importing samples, update the OS ...
1 large mono synth hybrid 4 osc
3 synth dsp
Drum machine
filter bank etc ... (See other reviews)
UTILIZATION
The general configuration is not simple but is quite affordable if one agrees to spend time. The Bécanne is ergonomic, clear menus (except for some cryptic abbreviations). The manual is not yet complete, but there is need for the grip (and not necessarily even if you know about ...)
SOUNDS
The advantage of this machine is here. The main synth (hybrid analog / digital mono) is a real massacre. Personnellemnt I use it to make Eletro experience. Both the Bécanne groove box can be used to make conventional electro and techno, as it can generate sounds extreme, tortured, unusually complex ... We can get out of low guturales, the sibilants the eardrums cutting into slices, you can also get distorted sounds without using any effect ... The synthesis engine is huge and the slow evolution of the internal OS does absolutely no work deepens. If effects are on the menu for the next update of the OS (comp-limit-disto. .. it will really hurt!) Can largely do without. This machine sounds even in the dry. She really has a strong identity. Not to mention the opportunities offered by the morfing mix and the modulation matrix. (Anything can pass through the filters of the synth-H or the filter bank (sequence) ... anything goes. Presets have, no interest for my taste (despite their quality) is a machine for who wants to work with sounds.
OVERALL OPINION
it's been three years since I use it. I never heard a groovebox that sounds like this machine. And I rarely used a synthesizer as powerful and original (except for some old classics ...) It is a machine with a strong identity that may well serve as Bécanne 'standart' but develops its full potential in research . So sometimes I think I still have 10 years to go around (in the end, despite its price, this machine will eventually be very economical).
The construction is robust, the sound is huge, the possibilities are endless ...
