I do not m'tends dtails, the site builder is more talkative!

basically it is a groovebox with:
- A sequencer like TB, a microscope and piano roll mode for the edition and of course no time and no rel
- A sampler that works with the RAM (16MB standard) which can be stretched (128MB) to play the samples, and a smart media card for storage (maximum 256 MB I think)
- A synthesis that allows the use of 4 parts multitimbral sound.
- 2 multi-effects Intgr

particluarits:
- Transfer mc / pc via USB connection. the mc is recognized as a player and can TRANSFR files in both directions Manir transparent!
- 16 tracks> 16 part. each unit can be a drum kit, or a patch (or synthse sample, or shuffled) by going up to 4 layers

short, unless you like rler, there's enough to make even when many things.

UTILIZATION

Well, was not always a logical and MODEL ergonolie it must be said, the shift by CASC and sub menus are a little stick anywhere ... rgler can not send levels in multi-effects ...
So some big gaps, but however, compensated by a large LCD screen and is well trs was a direct apperu utiliss 16 patches with their name, or the mixer, the fen Retailer of very edition, etc ...
USB is a big plus, soon to dye the machine s TRANSFR something you want on the map.

otherwise the controls in faade are numerous and fairly well made.
other default: can not choose custom settings that modify the effects, both controllers have an assignment DDIS freezes for each effect.

otherwise we may have in simultanment ACCS faade for a patch br /> - ADSR amplitude
- ADSR filter
- Filter cutoff and reso
- Tune
- Form, frquence LFO (only one ... shame, was a shift t welcome!)

and thus both paramtres for both mfx.
addition to the mute of course, and such trifles usual start stop.

oh yeah, there's two d-beam. a can be fun with a bit of mastering ...

SOUNDS

I heard a lot of blah blah about 909, comparisons, dnigrements, reviews the "grain" of the sampler ...
arrtez then some guys, that was you like it or not (and I say no because I had a mean us well, I'm too old)::: 909 LA sounds so it makes it sound correctly.
saw the possibilities of the machine, a would be stupid to say that it does not ring.
dj synthse allows the engine to draw cool sounds, and then a sample, a sample is a.
then be less than one acoustic nvros I do not think its grain can pcher;)

OVERALL OPINION

Well, at least good, as usual we do rptera enough: try before you buy and find out whether a prior right for you!
