All user reviews for the Alesis AirSynth

This UFO therefore produces synthetic sounds, but triggered by movements of the hand, like his brother - a bit more famous - the AirFX. The range varies according to sound, sometimes it is "granted" is funny when at the top or bottom of a beach ... We must therefore consider that it's monophonic, but you must listen to understand, I think ... Basically it can be the effect of a Theremin, especially since it has few imitations in this genre!

UTILIZATION

The sounds do not s'éditent. When there are patches "rhythmic" we have a system to adjust the overall tempo, but that's all, and that's enough in my opinion, given what is the object. Not really need a manual, but the explanatory map (in English) is helpful! If you lose, you can still find it on the Alesis site, do not drag perhaps elsewhere, is seen as more AirSynth product (AirFX still is apparently it, but I do not really see on sale in stores or online).

Basically, to use, we choose a patch, by passing your hand above the sensor, and we understand the principle, therefore, still being guided by the famous map.

SOUNDS

It can be used for many things, but mail anyway ... That said the effect of helicopter in stereo can be used for anything! There are some cool stuff like that. I also like the effects "synths pitchables" saturated! Yes, to vary the notes, very often we play on the pitch and filter important detail! And the answer is excellent, it really answers no latency ...

OVERALL OPINION

In short, I love it! With the next AirFX to filter anything that's really cool. Well, you can also connect them together, but hey, for now I see no value, I prefer that the filter AirFX a title that I broadcast, or a base sequence, for example ...

Apart from patches of tune (which is not very serious because we play all the time on the pitch, and then sometimes it gives a nice effect on small mistuning ") is of no fault, I think.

Ah yes, as the AirFX were patches that react to the "hammering" you might say, more precisely: it is the "air-drum" over the sensors to trigger a slap, like a charley 808. .. It also it does! There are also chromatic percussion type steel-drums, then it's funny because the notes are pretty random, but each time on a very specific range, D minor example. OK, if we could choose the range, or notes, it would be better, but still good, it's cheap, not editable, but the fun-price ratio seems unbeatable on the second hand market (at least for the 50 € I paid, just like the AirFX elsewhere)

How happy
