UTILIZATION

In terms of ergonomics, the machine is great, the selection matrix effects is very well done, we see the first look at what effects are active.

The publication of three settings effects is relatively sufficient to achieve what you want. on the other hand, impossible to program without the doc, the parameters are not identified by their value, but by numbers 1,2,3, etc. on the display. That said, any money I do not ask an LCD screen ...

Another problem in my config is that I hard a sequence MPC2000XL, so I do not VST architecture to control the MX200. Except that the MX200 does not send anything in midi out, which means that to create an automation, I have to create by hand all CC from my MPC. It's painful.

Moreover it is not possible to use the same time MIDI and USB, for example using a MIDI sync delays for disables the USB port, then it would have been convenient to synchronize noon monitor settings via the editing software MXedit.

SOUND QUALITY

This is where the machine hit, there is no picture, the sound value / price is really good. I love the delays, very well made, the reverbs are effective, although I never use the MX for the reverb only, I use qeuleument in addition to another effect. It's not a reverb 6000 (but it does not cost the same price either).

Dbx dynamics is a little gadget in my opinion, although it may help. The remaining effects flange / rotary / chorus, etc., is rather effective.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two months, and I'm happy for the sound quality.
For cons, the MX is definitely focused VST, using twelve o'clock noon is taken over almost unusable.
It is still a very good machine value for money.
