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

noon, 6 spares outlets, USB ... Full ...

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

How many sounds? Chais more ... a lot!

They are all ditables ... and for the first time on a Roland Groove, one can speak of a vritable synthtiseur with all the options sound ncessaires edition ...

The utility is PC and Mac and render services in ergonomics Contents!

Search the forum, there are plenty of tips and tricks donns by aficionados of the 909!

- Has he an effects section?

Yes, it has an effect section ... I would call quality variable ... but enough ...
The bad thing (I think) the effects routing frankly not easy or ergonomic ... Again, look on the forum about this, there are explanations prcises ... parenthse small, most users advise the couple with a multi-purpose external)

- What are the characters of squenceur? ...

Squenceur the Roland ... ie loop ... for those who come from around the roland, no dpaysement in this area ... Song forget how ... go through a squenceur software in this case ...

All CHARACTERISTICS MRIT September 1 because you have to add the sampler super simple and super efficient machine that gives a dimension largely suprieure a simple expander;)

UTILIZATION

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?

So ... Friend ... if you come in 303 or 505 ... but you will remain in Roland you&#39;ll change the world!
Whereas the configuration was more complex ... but for a good ... sound!

- The usual functions are they easily accessible?

Well, most orders are on the interface ... this is a request groove ... edition is the sounds that demand is going through the menus (wide screen life-changing!) or by the soft!

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

Clearly, he is ... probably not enough ... especially in terms of teaching ... but ...
For those looking perptuellement manuals in French, by downloading and there to do this, look on the forum or www.mc909.org ... especially do not post a thread about this ... it is so rcurrent ... it exaspre Dornava;) recommendation!

SOUNDS

- The sounds they agree your style of music?

I am a guitarist based ... and I use to strengthen my groove bass lines and drums and sampler for my riffs and fiddling! Gnial for me! For cons, I do not use it 100% ... shame ... but no time!

- Are they ralistes?

This is done for the electro ... acoustic sounds are not good mdiocres see ... but the sampler is to address the everything! And yes, it is full of resources that small bote (now big!)

- The effects are they effective and responsive?

The effects are more or less effective ... as said above ... the big problem is their routing!

- The expression is good? (Raction VLOC the aftertouch)?

Say anything in this field!

- What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest? ...

The bass is heavy desire ... The sampler allows even greater exploration of the game synthse ...

The sounds are the sounds j&#39;apprcie least say "sound" that are weak people ... but the sampler is for everything!

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

For a little over a year now but not 100% ... shame ...

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

I prfre Dornava this is that Integrates perfectly into a groove configuration studio (may be in the dtriment live according to some) ... complte connection ... sampler, expander, synthse, CONTRL, squenceur, BAR, effects etc ... is complete and autonomous!

The least ... not having explored the background so there is something to find!

The effect section which gives me the ball every time I want to route effects!

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

I started with the 303, then 505 and finally 909 ... is a logical continuation for me ... not a fan of Yamaha empty despite the qualities of his groove!

- How do you report qualitprix?

Today at around 1500 euros 1000 euros new and used, it becomes a bargain!

More than 2500 euros its release, the c&#39;tait too expensive!

So today&#39;s good report quality price

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

Yes, I think ... even if I wonder if it is not too over-size for my needs ... o there are days I tell myself that I&#39;d better sell it plutt than leaving it to the dusts (no inquitude, it is being protected lol!) while I do something else ... I shall decide and then I give up ... There&#39;s such an emotional bond with the bote! Bizarre!

Last advice: think about the forum and research before any basic question ... there are many great specialist in the 909 on the forum ... trs all cool ... apprcient but, given the number of which have now rponses dj t give a little research before!

Do also check www.mc909.org that collects a lot of practical information, FAQ etc ...

9 for this great big groove box!
