I like the usb, adat, the 80GB Hard Drive and 8 outputs and spares while standard! They scored the top of points.J 'also likes to mix the tracks of a squence with 4 faders, it was fun (for the live example).
The particular feature I like least is the freezes that require restarting without being able to save .. has it really means, especially if you puff on a beat since the second despite 4h.et I put days (osv.2) So advice people, save occasionally when made several hours ... a puff you costs nothing and can make you avoid a nervous breakdown. Even if a day is relatively rare 'Espree that the next SHIFT everything will rgl.

- How do you report qualitprix?

Unlike full of what people can say that I find a proper rest even when considering the number of functions that a person who a.Pour DSIR have one at all has its rightful carrment least expensive, do the calcul.Un squenceur, a sampler, a synthtiseur, a multitrack recorder (8-track direct to disk) a procsseur effects, a 80GB Hard Drive, 8 outputs spar es, the adat ... and other connectors that could be expensive as an option on another BCAN, an area of ​​CONTRL noon (4 faders, 8 knobs), 64 MB RAM (which is clearly enough). For 1920 euros or 1500 euros new used was much less expensive than lments sparsmme of low-end.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

Yes because at the moment I do not really BETTER machines, the MV8800 is at the same level I pense.Elle + but has - so they are also kif kif.bien the color display and Option VGA to me long been hsit MV.
