-Connectors: 2 pair stereo jack 6.35
-384 Max samples (285 seconds at 44.1 kHz)
-3 Simultaneous effects, serial or parallel
I will not repeat the specifications of the manufacturer since it is honest, just add that the sequencer has a feature "random" funny enough to rearrange the notes returned.
UTILIZATION
Operation is ultra-simple. Those who had already es-1 will do almost no nose in the manual. All operations fall "common sense". This was already the main strength of the old series (s-1) but this is even better with regard to all the added features.
Everything is really designed for live electro / techno / house / dnb and others.
SOUNDS
The sound is very good, lots of fishing, good record highs. I do not see the benefit of lights for me (my samples are pretty crados like that) but it may interest those who want a general slight distortion.
OVERALL OPINION
What could I blame this machine? nothing, everything is very convenient, the sound is very good, functions are effective (stretching in real time is very good in particular), the case is beautiful (brushed metal colored red). I do not think there are other machines in this category: the mc909 but that seems more powerful 3x the price (I find it ugly and more), the RS7000 also more expensive, the MPC1000 more expensive and less oriented live electro.
Good points:
Specific real-time-stretching and effective (not like the dung of SU200 me see above)
Time-slice improved: detection much finer than the es-1
Memory-very comfortable, I floss loops for 5 days and I still needed to clear the factory sounds.
No scsi zip-m **** externally, a SmartMedia reader incorporated.
Tempo sync modulation
-24 (!) Parameters "automated" simultaneously
-Metal case very aesthetic: it looks like a joke like that, but me an instrument of lousy music that inspire me. see there's the guitars, some are beautiful. I see no reason why the instruments to make the electro would be ugly plastic beige boxes.
-Separated output
Truly portable,
-From the es-1, supports file names (more than 01, 02, 03, 04, ...)
-Mutes are saved (es-users include a)
Multimode filter for all voices
Many hard-compressor
-Programming the way trx0x: one can say what you want but I saw no more effective and faster for electro.
No-gas plant in menus and other crap like that, full of pots visible to rotate.
to 700 euros in a shop in Paris the quality / price is already excellent so if we find it even cheaper ...
I do it again this election easily.
--------------------------------------
Small update!!
Why not 10 this machine? because:
- There is no endless pots (that would be cool, like the nordrack3). mode if a "pickup" as the nova would welcome an update of the software.
- Auxiliary outputs do not take advantage of multi-effects
-The effect reverb is average
-Function "purge" (to get rid at once of unused samples) would be useful
