- What connections (audio, MIDI ...)?

A headphone output, an output two outputs for the stero (left only possible for mono), an input line in, in stero, a MIDI In, MIDI Out, MIDI Through, more than enough.

- How many sounds and styles available? Are ditables? Through a utility Mac / PC?

Sounds, max 100 mono, 50 stereo Max, after to edit, or on the pc, or Summary edition on the machine (normalize, truncate and time slice, and adjustable worse of the beginning and end)

UTILIZATION

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?

So easy, even more complicated is lego! Is pressed the edit you want, and then position it on one of the 16 steps by pressing it, and changing the measurement with the buttons at DeSUS ... really easy!

- The usual functions are they easily accessible?

On, no sub menu, the buttons light up when pressed, the samples are read as lightning, the beat is displayed by a small LED ... really screwed up

- The manual is clear and sufficient?

As well as the rest of the machine, with generals like details, etc etc ...

SOUNDS

- The sounds they agree your style of music?

Personally, mixing d'n'b and trip-hop sounds on Fl Edit My then Sound Forge, you can get what you want ...

- Are they ralistes?

All depands of what you put in, otherwise the original samples are very good, and the songs too.

- The effects are they effective and responsive?

Very good indeed, thanks to two adjustable knobs ...
- The expression is good? (Raction VLOC the aftertouch)?

No lag ... Do not react to it Veloci p'tit rule with a volume knob ... sense for a one shot sampler ...

- What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest?

Well, the Frequency converter's sampling may be a little weak, we would have AIM 44.1kHz, standart format. Wav, ca avoid having to spend on sound forge to change the Frequency converter ... otherwise, it's 16 bit (you can put 8 for chiptune fans: D)

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

For about 6 months

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

Really very simple to use, fairly complete, but the number of tracks read at the same time is a fair bit ... If it does well, we can read up to 9, including 3 battery (Kick, snare and hit-hat) 6 ca leash for the melody, but when you want to add little sounds of ambience etc. and well, it is fast in the poo ...

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

Beucoup? no, just the boss sp303, but I was a little too comlex ... although in fact it does not get too ...

- How do you report qualitprix?

A little pricey for such a short memory (1 min 30's is not really huge ...) But it can go against the boss sp303 for example ... ^ ^

- With the exprience, you do again this choice?

Yes and no, I think I would take his little sister a lamp, a bit more advanced with special tracks for the melodies, and above all, a time stretch feature, something very useful, not in this sampler, c is a pity, especially for the price (approx 450 new)
