What polyphony? 4 very poor, and single or stroc same, for this as well as tracks for the pad, the big weakness of the machine
- What converter? trs good as the 20bit A / D and 24-bit N / A, 24-bit internal processing, so good
- What effect? I possde EX version, so I possde few more effects from the normal version. there are a bunch, you can CRER meme.Il you are really all you need, vocoder, distos, lo-fi, phase effects, pramplis, delays, reverbs, ... virtual analog synth
- How much memory as standard?
memory disk zip
- What connection (Audio, MIDI, numrique ...)? are the midi in and out, input / output and RCA AUX_IN / aux_out RCA, an additionnal card to add the digital inputs and outputs, and XLR
- Is there a utility edition of Mac / PC? wai, you can just thanks to the zip, TRANSFR wav format and vice versa sp808

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use for sampling, the shipping of samples, timing the tempo with time stretch is an easy and a rapiditC even funny!
The recording, mixing, everything is very easy
By good effects against the edition is a bit boring.

SOUNDS

The incorporated multi effect is all just "yeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa !!!!!"
The delays are extraordinarily good, distos (in Stereo) not bad, flanger and other effects of phase excellent ones I prfre effects are LO-FI, thickeners analog sound, and the simulation Micro, which offers all the grains you want, the Space cho (a must).
a vocoder is good too, but not chuis fan (overdose)
I balance my mc 303 sounds that are compltement heavy and flat, I fiddle with the effects, and hop right now It takes the look, there's no better now to give a sound color.

The sounds of the synths are great too.

In my opinion, the multi purpose alone justifies the purchase of the unit.
The Sampling compltement respect the original sound. Perfect

OVERALL OPINION

This shit polyphony c: 4 c limit! C but I think the only major default of the machine
Oh yes, there is something super bad! c you can not change the pitch of samples playing on a keyboard like on the classic samplers! ca c boo. Otherwise the rpart manually fo ...

For the rest, no complaints!
Zip disks allow time chantillonage trs long, and no need to load into RAM, not yen, c the direct-to-flowing ZIP.Ca c, c ca ke elsewhere to the polyphony is limited e.

In fact c plus a sampler itself dit.un multitrack multitrack and a phrase sampler and a multi purpose.
Well, I'd chop € 1000 into an opportunity, and I do not regret it. I confess that nine more than € 1500 was worth ca not go.
But if you have the opportunity to chop in time, Do not hesitate!
