Alan Replica « Excellent sound module »
Published on 03/19/12 at 07:49I give my opinion here user, technical specifications are available on the Web.
However, be advised that most of the specifications, the sounds, the connector (separate outputs, Midi, ..) memory, the polyphony are expandable by options.
My Ultra is initially a demo unit of the socity E-MU reused by a studio film music. I bought used via eBay in the United States in 2005. It was already full of sound banks E-MU Ultra, E-Synth etc. .. And came with 11 CDs E-MU. In addition it included the maximum configuration in terms of disk effects (RFX card) and memory.
Overall quality: housing, connectors and front panel commands very robust construction
Quality connectors: individual outputs, four assignable busses and flexible effects, full MIDI
Quality effects: two separate simultaneous effects of quality, we regret the loss of the individual effects of each sound when on multiplayer mode, because the omni mode only allows two simultaneous effects of all sounds. however this is mitigated by the different effect settings applied to the 4 output buses (%), the ability to assign effects in multi compared to a no preset on a MIDI channel reference (that of No. preset can be changed during the game via a sequencer for example) but also be circumvented by resampling internal sounds with their initial effects.
UTILIZATION
Very clear and comprehensive manual
Configuration and easy editing, or even natural
Personally I use the keyboard samplers EIII or EIV for sampling and sound editing, I transfered cepnedant sounds of EIII in the E6400 Ultra order not to carry the EIII.
It is always possible to efectuer these operations via the E6400, but when you're used to synthesis modules and editing 'by ear' inherent in the EIII ..
least small:
-The arpeggiator is insufficient compared to the EIII arpeggiator fabulous!
-Internal sequencer is a notepad capricious (quantification difficult to understand, not step by step!)
But for these two points, IVUS is identical ..
It fails-assignable sliders for adjusting IVUS parameters of sounds in real time 'by ear' (filters, modulations), however EVERYTHING is assignable via internal commands and changed in real time, via a sequencer.
SOUNDS
Sound quality: E-MU has the best sound for me (wide, dynamic filters, effects ..)
OVERALL OPINION
Quality sounds and effects, ease of editing, connectivity, portability between E-MU, robustness, ease of transport .. Perfect
Note that the sound quality is essential and filters that allow deep atmospheres as well as unmatched - E6400 Analog sounds!
Essential sounds for me:
impeccable drum kits and complete; ropes superb, magnificent piano, bass complete; of synth sounds exceptional
etc. ..
Small problem: electric guitars and saturation effects inconclusive for me, unlike the effect section 'Fuzz' on the E-MU Proteus MPS remains a must ..
