The connection is complte with an output between digital and a guitar / bass up front which is always more convenient.

UTILIZATION

Usage is relatively simple, but even when lack of buttons and knobs to be ergonomically correct.
The manual is complete and in French.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it mainly to convert my samples.

For this use, there are gems like the simulation of the famous Space Chorus Roland SDD-320 or RE-201 Tape Echo. The rsultats are really INTERESTED.

I also often lofi box, phaser, ring modulator and the effects that work on the RSS image stro.

For the other effects (rverbe, compressors ,...) prfre I use plug-ins that I use to mix DDIS plutt than directly on the samples

OVERALL OPINION

Just for the chorus and tape space echo, I would do without this choice hsiter, especially 200 euros occasion.

But a "challenger" has just made its appearance!
Indeed, Universal Audio has released for its clbre UAD-1 DSP card and vintage Roland effects formulations. And when you know the quality of the other effects of the DSU ... see.
