Oliviercool « handheld that does not fit in the pocket »
Published on 10/14/10 at 17:03Key features:
- Sequencer 16 tracks with accompaniment track notament.
- 1 set of inputs - MIDI outputs
- Battery operated
UTILIZATION
I bought used emergency so I could work outside on the midi with a laptop, a netbook. Well, it is true that today, all sound cards come with an onboard chip synthesizer but it is often the GM, sometimes GS, but almost never the XG - let alone the TG300B. And precisely the advantage of XG is the ability to set the ADSR envelope, the cuttof, resonance and many others, that does not allow the GM and GS.
Connected in MIDI interface MIDI USB external, I use it mostly as a sound generator as the external XG Yamaha XG SoftSynthesizer S-YG50 I used so far is a latency too long, especially when he is working on the notes. And besides, it only worked on Windows XP. And in this context, it is unfortunate that this has not QY70 TG300B mode. But hey, it can roughen the midi on the train, or even to deal with.
Hardware sequencer that time, I do not use it yet because no time to look into it currently. There's just one thing clear: as a port mini-DIN 8-pin ("To Host") instead of USB (the camera was in 1997 already) and today (October 2010), parallel or serial port has disappeared from our PCs, which remains the only means for exchanging midi files between the machine and the computer is to transmit real-time (or speeding up the tempo on both sides) via the MIDI sync with MTC. The sounds frankly
SOUNDS
sant ... mouaif ... means. They sound clear and clean, yes, but ... soup is cold! Nothing to do with the Yamaha QS300. Failure Mode TG300B is perhaps something ^ ^ This is a sequencer
OVERALL OPINION
pocket but it does not fit into the pocket, obviously, because it is slightly more cumbersome than a VHS tape. But despite its thickness, it is small enough to fit in the pouch of my 10-inch netbook with USB MIDI interface and MIDI cable to boot. It filled so much of the role I've assigned him: the midi to work outside.
In my opinion, at least at first sight:
- It lacks the user TG300B, argl, too bad!
- They should put a USB interface instead of making this "To Host".
- The internal memory should be of type Flash and large enough to store full of midi
- The display should be backlit
- They could have put a real audio output, 2 jacks 6.3 of preference. Here is the 3.5 mm headphone jack that acts output audio is light, especially fragile.
- It eats batteries! For serious use on the move, there must be several sets of batteries, watch batteries recharged. It should take 6 to 8 hours with a set of 6 AA batteries Energizer or Duracell, no more. Anyway, anyway, laptops (even netbooks) currently do little more than 3 to 4 hours on average, with few exceptions.
For troubleshooting and for roughing the midi out, not bad at all. But you see I bought this model in a hurry because I discovered after the fact, after some research, as the Yamaha MU15 hadst better suited. Indeed, in a box roughly the same size which also operates on batteries, I have An expander GM and XG sequencer without, of course, but with the way TG300B him. A sequencer
