Show notice for Tyokkann specs. I would add that uses FM synthesis to two operators, but some are "doubled" (with devastating effects on the polyphony).
The demo song is "Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel, with its random change to each musical phrase.
In the price range of the time (700 Francs) was better than the competitors!

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, all functions are directly accessible via buttons on the facade.
No possibility to change anything. Even my little boy of two and a half years knows how to use!

OVERALL OPINION

It was my first synth, I learned to play on so big sentimental value.
I like the portable side (it can work with batteries), its FM sounds of the big time (remember that the Sound Blaster as the DX7!), And spontaneity that results.
I regret polyphony quickly reached (between 4 and 9 according to the modes and sounds used), the lack of reverb and the lack of MIDI, it would have been nice to sequence!
In its price range, it was super good. It is on today for € 100 was much better. I bought me one for € 40 for my son, I do not regret my purchase and it either :-)
