UTILIZATION

Trs easy to use GM2/GS/Native (SDDS)
The software you use, it is he that thus need to set the SD itself, there is nothing special to know!

SOUNDS

The sound is really TOP PSE and I my words!

Pianos Varis
Excellent guitar
Copper ptent
Spciaux of synths, ruffed with effects, finally trs trs good!
Ethnic, trs good too
Battery according to the kits, trsralistes

A single weak point: the violins too grandiose, lack of largesse, of majestuosit ...

In short, sounds to read the rest squence without s'embter

In any case much better than the Roland XV SERIES (batteries horrible, vile pianos ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since mid-2003 and I'm happy!
Versatile and well mix output, trsralistes instruments.
If you make squence, you can bleufer on Live!
