Value For Money : Poor
The heavy hit is very effective, we regret that vélocitée Always be coded 7 bit values ​​on the 127 had their day ... with 4 layers of samples per oscillator, we begin to need more finesse (some sounds)
As standard, the machine can load the EX1 and EX2 simultaneously, add the ram ... scandalous for a machine this expensive ...
The CMT is optional: $ 250, it does come in demo for purchase.
This would suggest that all future options will be paying ...
The mind boggles!
Once digested the pill, we can only note that the features of this synth are reassuring PLETOR .. you tell me ..
DTD, vocoder, analog virtual modeling, rom, ram, fx, sampling, sequencer, wavetable,
karma .... etc. .. all usable? I would say yes, and more .. nothing gadjet, and by combining the block .. it's quickly damage

UTILIZATION

The depth of programing is abysmal!
The screenshot touch is a real plus.
Bone is logical and clair.C is a work of kif on it.

SOUNDS

The sound of the machine has no equivalent in rompleurs even in kurzweil .., 24 bit audio engine is phenomenal, the sound is solid, warm, thick, very large ... we are very far from the newt, with its high and medium pinched almost no real low, it is more in the spirit Emulator III or IV, the big potato in the top and bottom of the audio spectrum, I am truly amazed .. the sound is not crushed, he is breathing but compact ..
The part of the sampler synth sounds to death, it gives all its interest in this machine samplent but for those who do not support workstations.

OVERALL OPINION

I see this machine as the bridge between two worlds, that of high-end samplers with a great sound but fastidueux and daunting to program, but pro, and the "consumer" of pre-chewed workstations, ready to eat, which for 2500 Euro gives you a box full, or first, to almost double, offers you an empty box (but always with the sound and possibilities that go with it ...).
I think this instrument is the only one to combine in one the characteristics of these two worlds, opportunities for hallucination.
