I synchronize the mc midi for live use with a 2 ordis
USB connectivity is excellent
128 mb max samples (not possible to store +)

UTILIZATION

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>The manual is clear and sufficient? ..</span>
compared to 1 + rs7000 is much easier parcontre I master tjrs not sampling, it be quick tour (parcontre in fx is very broad level buttons .... I think the machine limit ... c ' is really not practical for live, you can not view the evolution of the filters etc ... on the lcd

I find it hard to get used to it, eyeGO board on the rs7000 + much broader level sequencer

SOUNDS

The sound is clear That a rs7000 +, + big too, but lack of heat, it's interesting for the music electronica, electro .... however for the drum and bass is pretty average
the sounds are very realistic, very large selection of bass, synth, high quality kits ... however with a side ll'ordi they seem sometimes too sharp

level effects is not expected to live, the effects are accessible as menus, y 'has tons of very good quality if not, although I find a little slanted fx ca claque enough
expression is good, but it lacks real heat .. for the distortion, some acid sounds etc. ..

the bass is excellent for the dnbass (octav3) if the presets are terrible oriented trance, dance etc. ... or prefabricated dnbass
with respect to a rs7k recording in real time is very hardy I can not

while on rs 7000 I am very productive at this level
Apart from that putting the piano roll is excellent

OVERALL OPINION

It's been one month I use
I love the crossfader, play with the pitch live is the part I find interesting + unique ...
Otherwise, the sampler seems very efficient and accurate for a groovestation, parcontre nothing beats a computer

just before I tried a Machinedrum exchanged with the mc909 machine .... lla + ergonomic ... I know the mc909 creating a pattern is less precise, the keys are hard + etc. ..
A few months ago I used a RS7000, which I miss for his sequencer, for its grain ...

value for money means I can not call it, I really feel like wasting my time
in the future I do not think this choice again ... rather take a laptop + controller pti
