Organ combo and rustic Italian, with a four octaves dedicated to low (three octaves for the leads so it sounds a bit short ...)
No real-controllers but good to know there was a pitch for grant under the keyboard (it is necessary to unscrew 4 screws underneath the hood up and then under the keyboard on the right there is a black and white knob that adjusts the screwdriver)
Mono-Connectivity: Headphone / Amp / Slalom (which I do not know the function but I think we find it in the forum)
The reference LR said it probably has 2 HP but it's mono!
_5 Voice right hands (Flute, Oboe, Horn, Brass, Reed) and Vibrato-Fast/Slow/Delay Shine, a switch housing with three forms of decay
This filter is not usable because it is completely monophonic, it fires its first and erases all the following notes
_2 Voice left hand (Reed-Flute) plus a very nice bass with a dedicated budget and functional which makes it very musical.
_Boite Paced atmosphere typical rumbatronic it's funny but the tempo control knob is delicate and the mine
the tempo made small changes I think it's due to corrosion of the potentiometer must spit (a little contact spray ...)
_I Have not tried it but I think the polyphony is total.

UTILIZATION

The config is all that is most simple in appearance but one must take a little used primarily for live
because the sound is very raw and manipulation and that's a bad buzz .... such as volume increases exponentially as one triggers sounds when the balance with the bass is distorted what to fix ... Etc.
Also important: Make sure if you plan to buy one that is well supplied with the volume pedal as no knob takes over when it is missing, his fate was the background .....
In fact it is precisely the use that is the real weak point! in the studio so good, but this keyboard is to be avoided for the live is not a real instrument on stage.

SOUNDS

So by the sounds are against extra ...
I plug it first in a lamp that makes a preamp drooling attacks then a EQ which replaces more or less the drawbars, then there are the effects we want (especially whawha) all in the amps, we transplanted with a good microphone and there is the psychdélirium assured ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about a year but I made my first prod with only a few months.
It's gross, I like rough ...
I tried many others and it is by no means the best is rather special, for an organization that seeks a vintage-sounding everywhere it is better to go to a philicorda electone or a Farfisa more like pro compact duo or vip.
value for money ?............ 40 euros for a large analog sounds Reed is not the ruin, and the instrument is very good bill.
