See the link for the manufacturer to the exact configuration.
We appreciate the separate outputs for all 4 channels, especially since they are stereo, as odd oscillators are wired to Left and even on the right.
4 channels polyphony, expandable via the "Polychain" to link several (eg racks and 3 polyevolver PEK)
UTILIZATION
Any editing is very simple, and can therefore take advantage of the great complexity of the machine. The menus are clear, the legends are clear, the manual is too simple, but quite a few small details escape him. Just to experiment, and it will be understood easily. The manual is NOT enough, and rightly so, we would need is an encyclopedia.
For those who want to deepen, there is somewhere a manual on the net a, sort of scrawl depth of PEK. Ness about the existence not deprive it, it gives very good ideas.
SOUNDS
Expression: Not bad at all.
The noise generator (digital I think) is disgusting. Difficult to do something with peak loads without ringing "Commodore 64". Tolerable in small doses.
The HPF is truly minimal, it does not color the sound much, it is flat and not very interesting. It is used all the same, with the third envelope, for example ...
Distortion is the average, although it incorporates an effective noise gate, and Hack (sort of degrade bit) accentuates frequencies 'metal' that is hard to capitalize. We would have preferred engineering focuses a little more about these terrible encoders with a nut on the side of the hood. Detail we would also welcome with female output jacks, very average, the design leaves little cable types not to be spit out by the internal spring. It's bad that side.
Everything else is delusional, the possibilities are endless, the little "squeak" strangled by the high pass to low-unison through the water capsized Rolandienne sci-fi. May be missing some very serious, but it's not embarrassing. There is also incredible opportunities modulation, LFOs p.exe of them (for beautiful accelerations) envelope with a third period (excellent) sequencer very well built and full of surprises, opportunities for craft with chorus three delays implemented, and envelopes that can be really long attack and release, and then synchronized analog oscillators, disagreements, and oscillators to digital wavetable, cycling through the sequencer used in FM and ring modulation .
Very, very good.
A synth of research when you've found, is stored, we assign modifiers (mod wheel and / or pedals), and we play live, even if it is bad enough for my taste. It is high end but, it saves a little aesthetic level. The blue LEDs are not my cup of tea, it screwed up his eyes, and that makes "toys are us." Maybe in thirty years we love it.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a year, and I am far from having been around.
I have or have had in his hands several synths, sound modules, racks, analog, digital, old cuckoo clocks and small modern machines. It sounds "modern" or rather "recent". It was still not a 100 or a Yamaha CS-80. It's not good for much less, it's just something else.
I paid less than 1500 € secondhand from a guy who wanted it more. At that price, it's worth it. I'd be a little less enthusiastic if I had to buy new, especially to those # & @ ¤ * encoders.
Yes, I would do this choice.
