Synth and sample reader "VariPhrase" Specific enough;

3 mode has the basic simulation TB303 or Jupiter 8 but more interesting is how VariPhrase (reader of samples that can work via USB from a computer) in this mode, it has 14 voice polyphony multitimbral 6 all with the famous and has 3 engines VariPhrase effects! : A multi-purpose super full (with, among other compressor pretty impressive and simulations of very nice tape delay) + a generator type Roland reverbs and chorus section.

a stereo analog inputs (for the vocoder option I think)
two 24bit stereo outputs and a SPDIF (hand out).

stokage PC card (hyper personal practice, I put a CompactFlash adapter 10 euros) but it has 32MB of internal flash.

The sounds must be transferred via USB gives thanks to the soft (very full)

UTILIZATION

Installation of soft classical set days of the machine etc. ... Not the easiest I've encountered is a good but.

The machine is programmed via the software but many are available paramettres without connecting the computer.

SOUNDS

Timstretch treatment in real time and Armon is simply Bluf!
The sound is full, vibrant, warm and oddly enough living, the bass is superb. There are a can of good old cots Roland samplers with a warm but with the precision in the acute and more!

There is a mode that allows you to automatically split a rhythm (or other) and a fragment taler automatically by keystroke.

Another mode allows the pitcher to transpose the formants without voice or vice versa.

(In terms of simulation of TB, for me it's not a. .. The JP8 is usable but I prfre MKS50 a simple, its function is really VariPhrase Premire)

OVERALL OPINION

Exelente a powerful machine trs his formidable and strangely trs alive sound quite impressive for its size and price.

He RE a vocoder option and an option that I never D50 test.

I would do without this choice problem.

PS: DSOL but in the absence of other comments, I did what I could and I corrected gradually as I go. (Thank you so do not blame me for possibly rreurs)
