Expander sample playback
I believe Polyphony 64 voices
A pre-defined by its effect, dosage adjusted by the knob "effect"
A hard switch for midi channel
16 banks of 16 sounds each thematic
knob an overall volume
1 Stereo
Midi In / Out
No headphone jack, too bad!
No inter / Off either, it branch, period.
2 LEDs, Power and control signal Midi (practice)
1U, 1 / 3 wide (can be fixed on the bottom)
It is built "American" good metal chassis, electronics serious
In short, the bare necessities, but good
UTILIZATION
Setup could not be more simple. It took over 5 minutes into the beast, and the manual (well done, yet) will remain at the bottom of the box.
The philosophy is really that of the sound module. We define the midi channel (not need to be an expert), we choose the bank and the sound and playing.
The edition is based on the manual available via SysEx, but nothing can save ... No interest so ...
SOUNDS
I love acoustic pianos (the No. 1 is a true stereo). It's really for the bank that I bought this module. Bank 2 is devoted to piano + other mix is not bad either.
Note that some piano sounds are transposed variations (+ or - 1 octave) of other sounds in the same bank. It does not look like much, but for me that was looking for a sound module to connect a small keyboard that had no other features MIDI In and Out the catch, I was sometimes used.
The electric pianos are correct but not stunning. Note a "No quarter" will remind you of things ...
The organs are correct, but the lack of editing and especially the lack of response to the modulation control may be felt! It's pretty weird, no way to get a little Leslie. Yet other sounds respond very well to modulation.
Other sounds a bit anecdotal, but they can help. Bass, Lead synth, strings (not bad).
In general, a lot of sounds seem to be from the same banks that the QS series of the brand.
For effects, they say that the processor is from the Quadraverb (I do not know).
So its a fact, which the dosage is done by the dedicated knob. This is a reverb (correct) most of the time.
OVERALL OPINION
It is quite expensive at the time (in 98 3000F, I cry when I see his side now!), But honestly it far surpassed the competition in piano sounds.
If you, like me at the time, a MIDI keyboard with sounds yuck and that you are looking for beautiful piano sounds worth it. In home studio may also have its place (it goes very well in recording).
Note that it is very compact and very portable. If you do not know on what you play, take the backup in (it saved my life, and finally the ears several times). And it is tough, mine has fallen several times more than 1m high and is doing well despite the scratches. Only the external power supply dropped me an evening concert, and attention is the AC not very easy to find.
