Synfix « A handy little tool for aficionados of MIDI. »
Published on 06/25/14 at 07:46When MIDI is a musician, you start worshiping the concept of MIDI Swiss knife. After a few months of use, I must admit that it is rare to need a MIDI monitor here or there, and that ultimately it is the arpeggiator and sequencer that I use the most. Of course if I had it in my hand on my master keyboard (it does well but does not transmit MIDI, argggg ...) (FYI this is a XP30) then I will not use the box. LOGIC PRO X can also make me, but finally after 15 years of using LOGIC, which is nevertheless formidable when the MIDI working, and well as curious that he could look, I use MIDIPAL ... surely a bad thing implemented in Logic, or user interface that stuck, the arpègges never sound the way I want, or your servant stuck too.
To return to the beast, I know of no equivalent.
What I like is the reliable side, solid machine, ease of use, it includes everything without having to dig through the manual, there is manipulation when it was done once, and the machine gives ideas when left turn with a good synth greasy. Great as the ability to change programs, as long as someone takes the trouble to reprogram is promising.
What I like least is the ergonomics of the sequencer, we too easily erase what we just did, it does not replace a hardware sequencer, let alone software. Also be aware that when a MIDI device you add must remember to manage: single or sync does it start? it sends data to the synth or to the main sequencer to keep them?
The price is right, and I like to have the machine not far from myself go.
Conclusion: a great achievement of Mr. Gillet, however the exclusive use of MIDI musicians.
