No need to go back on CHARACTERISTICS, Heiniger? Synthse four tones, the samples are treated as forms of internal waves so we can make them suffer the most ignominious transformations, etc. etc.. Since the OS 1.2, full of little features to simplify your life come.

UTILIZATION

Accustomed to squencers Roland: we stay in familiar territory. Less flexible than RM1x Obviously, but there is not rocket science to finesse CONTRL an external device.
Everything is visual, graphic, logical ... kooooool whatever. Pianoroll to mention specially, never seen on a groovebox, and proven Systmes PatternCall and RPS.

The main diffrence with Yamaha is its main default, it is not the 9 and 10: you can not switch to a pattern the other live, like a instantanment RM1x, then exit of station wagons dcrbr snif ... basically it takes the current pattern has finished playing for the transition.

SOUNDS

ARGH! The strong point. Synthse four waves simultaneous modulations galore, matrix CONTRL, perfect intgration samples, effects and compelling ever gadget, multiband compressor output hand that provides good service live, etcetcetc ... and above all, it's clear, it's clean and dynamic ... roland is, Heiniger kou?

OVERALL OPINION

900 Zorros bought with 256 MB of ram.

I used to lug around a notch barebone + + + CONTRL RM1x the table for the analog mix.

Now I have the same sound and almost as much flexibility with this bte boiboite in metal. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Its limitations are default and all its charm, and go and never talk to me mpc lolllll
