UTILIZATION

As I said, SIMPLICIME
THE PRO at the beginning!!

SOUNDS

Too bad it is not hard ca lamps Intgr but all of the same.
Its electronic trs

OVERALL OPINION

TIP OUF

Trs good overall but the big default squenceur just too lightweight for use other than live (not even forcment "studio"). Good memory (2 block 16 pads internal memory block + 8 * 16 in memory card compactflash)

UTILIZATION

The manual is clear (there must be 40 pages ..), not the problem above, the whole is intuitively accessible trs little we have dj boss is a sampler of cakes. Trs simple and fast type of wedge samples, shame about making too much manipulation by pressing several buttons (but it's not that Gnant the habit) and the size of the screen is not enough (not enough info).

SOUNDS

Excellent and varied effects of Bouzin they send! APRS shame not be able to apply multiple effects on the same sample ... The filter is good.
The sound is very nice, well rounded, warmer sound than the korg ...

OVERALL OPINION

I for 1 month. This is one of DJ gear and be seen, trs live east, as are the effects, intuitiva and sound, minus the squenceur and guts, lack of functions facade.
The report price is plutt good quality.

- What is polyphony?
12 tracks
- How much effect?
37 types
- How much memory as standard? maximum?
Pattern pads 16 and 16 and up to 2GB in standart in compact flash
- What connection?
MIDI IN / OUT, RCA IN / OUT, headphone, microphone (micro and small container at the top left of the unit)
- Is there an editing utility for Mac / PC?
SONAR LE (MIDI controller), SP555 wave converter (to convert and assign samples to pads)

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is it simple?
You decide: I'm soft in the brain and I spent about twenty hours a top and I already know all these functions and shortcuts ... so yes in my opinion.
- Publishing of sound effects or is it easy?
Yes easy but not totally complete (the filter is set by the D-BEAM ...) have not easily change its duration, its tempo, its starting point and end (in 2 different ways) but personally I prefer the change of PC using Goldwave or Audacity for example is much faster and accurate.
- The manual is clear and sufficient?
Very clear and comprehensive manual nothing to say it is an ally of choice

The D-BEAM is simpas but you have to know more tame it and it's not easy, but it is comprehensive and offers many sound and filter (+ trigger mode it handy)

Buttons and pots seem (I say seem) resistant (caoutchouk pads), the plastic finish gives an air of the SP555 toy but it is only air that he gives, Professional is a tool given these enormous opportunities (loop capture, overdubbing, sampling very simple and customizable, options for triggering samples as gate loop, 3 knobs effects etc ...)

The sequencer (I do not like it I would say it is rotten) (which is why I paid another sequencer separately) to align one by one the sounds we made ourselves, but it ' is difficult feat considering the time it takes to pass it to get out of just drinking, but I'm not very good anyway.

SOUNDS

- The A / D and D / A are transparent?
Yes the sound comes out as he returned NOT (there is always a safe or a but) if the changes were (Niark)
- Effects and filters are effective?
Yes, but be careful to set your purpose or your filter before activating it (several options to do that) for fear of killing your live today (grinding the ears, mute, explosage of timpani ---> is also evidence that the effects are good and above all they are going away). Can have a filter to assign a pad at a time or so you have to mess with the sampling.
- The dynamics are respected?
Koikecè dynamics?? In any case, the DJ will be happy is a wonderful sampler for the price!!

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
One month
- What is so special that you like most and least?
The memory-Standing, effects, loop capture
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
A similar but ... PC
- How would you rate the quality / price?
More than well.
- With experience, you do again this choice?
I do not know the look is ... very toy ... but I'm a big kid! So yes 70%
