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!
