Plus one: the USB drivers and then Varios, namely the V-Producer (sequencer sampler) and the two V-Basic Instruments that are 8 Controller and Controller 303, respectively based on the Jupiter 8 and TB-303.

UTILIZATION

Configuration gnrale Is it easy?
No. We must follow the protocol installation (most amazing I know) and all the steps for installing apps spars. No overall installer once, unfortunately.
Various configure the environment if you have an audio and midi loaded Relva obstacle course. For me it was a real bronx because of a excs driver audio / midi in my machine. Bond to the mnage and pass me (temporarily) in my 3D mouse. Mac users are less bothered that blow l. Must they have left a little something right?

The two programming interfaces synthtiseurs Controllers are appointed and can graphically edit MIDI in addition to the custom settings of the accumulation of TB-303 and near Jupiter 8.

SOUNDS

The A / D and D / A are transparent?
Uh ... Various makes it is a sampler that does not sample. Everything is paid for by the machine from the USB host. While the conversion ...
I can not tmoigner that these convertos worth, I use exclusively Various numrique.

Effects and filters are effective?
Yes. This is the highlight of this standard hardware. Read the description of Roland VariPhrase to understand.
It is not effects or filters, but the nut of a kind of Ableton LIVE and hardware is "phew".

It is good, and the torture that requires the sound does not seem to affect the original dynamic.
