Everything is already di ... everything seems nikel except that Roland could have provided the ram with the machine, it's not a pc! In addition to the RAM is not very recent, since it is not even DDR. Do not throw away your old PC! Otherwise I would say that the faders are not bad but autom it should not be violated with, they serve more to mastering and effects of changes (possibly) live. If not quite a classic, friendly chtite VTR functions such as D BEAM (a must on now Groovebox. Another downside for some: the small screen, but with a little experience, there are ways to easily navigate.

UTILIZATION

Having already had an MC 505, I know the "basics" of the famous MC, the start was not difficult but useful to compare the two machines as long as ... The manual we cleared up quickly on the possible manipulations and there are koi have fun live (advantage over a 909 more oriented components). To be honest I am still far from exploiting the bowels of the beast but it only two days that I have the.

SOUNDS

That's it surprises me that! By itself (without module in the ass) I would say that the sound quality is amazing if you hack a bit. If I'm facing this machine because it is a grain of warm, melodic CD. Seems realistic sounds and effects are effective and non destructive.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 days (live hardtek / tribe) and who bought the RAM (512 MB) I can now put him 10. this machine is a beautiful piti jewelry and the ratio Q / P is decent compared to a 909 that has more of a big screen (it's only € 800 on the beast it's still bad ... jl finally got a 600), if it again, I would do this chosen without hesitate for one second!

I add that I find it unacceptable that some (slightly lower) retrograde this machine because of a lack of experience !!!!! It's not a korg sure!!

After several months of use, I add that the extension of the PC edition is very intuitive and easy to use ... Although he happens after parties not to connect to pc feniantise and there is always a way out of good sound, though the editor is a real plus buy a 808 if you have a pc or you don ' not have access to all the editor's! on the other hand for a live, no need to pc since sounds are stored in the machine! Namely, the PC edition is probably simpler than the internal editor consists of a 909 Desousa menu and sub menu ... Here it is super fast, I di ingénieu Mr RELAND and thank you for that groove that kills live !!!!!
