Poly 32
Jamco converters
effects: very good (Ensoniq), it's going to filter distortion + reverb + comp + + reverb time limit
c combinations with qques presets.
fx in one insert + one reverb
RAM: 2 34 mo
no numrique, option 8 outputs + (hard to find)

soft: Is there a freeware mac that I did not test a module SoundDiver recently
and a soft pc: asrx-tools, just rotten all buggbr /> SMDI compatible with sound forge and recycled without problem

7 because no output numrique possible for the small screen

UTILIZATION

Super simple to use, I had okaz and I never opened the manual
small step to edit sounds (2 lines) but with a bit of time we know where everything is.
c super simple, I love how organized c: resampling with effect from the master output or entered without any problems, super simple assignment to the pads etc etc ...

problem: the possibility of looping are not super evolve: just forward or backward 2.
also: not too overloaded to give noon, because the processor is just power, especially if one uses the squenceur (which I do not). if not: ca "jump", just like a pc cpu overload, but must qd even abuse it.
Personal I use above 8 10 tracks (6 drums synths 2 + 2 "samples" pure) with filters on each, + the effect on the in between tps tps (because a real c multi-fx Intgr running apart from the rest, so its a possibility to leave a spare output and return ds effect via a console) and ca not jump. no problem of timing.
-2 For cpu "too" small.
forget the time-stretch it: ca takes ages (hours rllement)
manipulation of the samples rather complte: flanging bits, effects, LFOs, filters ...

y'avait if not this "problem" of cpu (also on the asr-x pro), I put 9

SOUNDS

Transparency?
oh no, c why I took it.
I love the sound: not need the radiator ds piece. for ground c absolutely terrible.
to have a good big potato is more than enough for me, csr can do better, but even more c CATEGORY.
the effects are excellent: Ensoniq, really terrible. There's everything you need.
Filters: LP or HP or BP, per couple. eg 1LP a HP or BP or a 1LP and 2LP this: for pad!! ie as many pairs of samples of filters (by Thor) + + 3enveloppes modulators (like a mini matrix) + lfo + pitch octave / semi / fine etc etc
Full MIDI, as long as he can send NRPN.
it has a sound that I really love.
c really above shall decide that the purchase is: we like it or not, the rest (CHARACTERISTICS) who cares.
9 / 10 even if it is not a asr10

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased November 02
If we know in advance its default (cpu just as the only default I think), and we love his sound, so it can not be a bad choice.
it is super hard to find, but at the same time Super Cheap. ca is between 500 and 700 euros, depending on options. make absolutely scsi, and if one knows qqun rom "urban dance" sell ...
between 500 and 700: from a MPC2000 + that will sell cheap, there's absolutely no photo, AC is nothing to see.
the sound is terrible, it can be messy to super super warm and soft. I love it. I keep until death do us would spare as the other.
