Basically: the possibility of tweaking sounds and save them, many vintage drum machine, parametric effects (portamento, reverb, sustain, vibrato), MIDI, possible recording of songs, etc, etc. .....
UTILIZATION
Very easy!!
OVERALL OPINION
I just use one from a friend and to touch this synth is CRAZY! In my opinion, this is not a toy but a real powerful synth! A monitor very closely!

OVERALL OPINION
- For how long have you been using it?
1 day
- What thing do you like most/least about it?
The 100 original sounds are quite poor.
The drum sounds are pêchus little to do with a little compression ...
The synthesizer is powerful! The frequency ratio between the two operators and can generate intermodulation noise superimposed on the FM frequencies!
- Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I have a lot of toy keyboards, the first taken with MIDI.
- What is your opinion about the value for the price?
€ 20 with a little cleaning to do on the contacts of keys is given!
- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
To see in use by noon.
Too bad the synthesis parameters are not assigned to a control change.
on the other hand, used even alone, it's too fun! The styles are quite varied very exciting! Cheers mixtures of genres!
