- I IT CAN BE USED for 3 months
- What I like most:
* The automation (LFO, ARP, sampler) unique and never seen on a MIDI controller
* The quality of fab and finish are exemplary
* The multitude of controls on the front (Joystick, Ribbon, pots, faders, buttons ...)
* The dual MIDI outputs also available on USB
* Self powered USB port
* The output sync 24
* The quality of support Wave Idea and many ROM updates
* In fact I like it!
- What I like least:
* The hood of the crossfader a bit small for my taste (it is easy to replace)
* The weight (about 7 kg!) That stands for strength!
- Prior to this controller, I used the UC33 and the novation remote zero SL, both controllers are not expensive but the quality and durability are far from equaling the Bitstream 3X, UC33 and Remote are plastic, the Bitstream is metal
- The value for money
While the controller is more expensive than a Novation or UC33 but quality comes at a price!
We can find the bitstream is 379 euros including postage on the net, so the price / quality ratio is qu'honete!
- You do again this choice
Clearly YES!
