The ME-1 is an expander half rack, 1U, has 256 sounds divided into 16 banques.Les sounds are not editable at all, for that matter virtually nothing is editable on this machine. It has an output jack stereos, a headphone jack (the machine back ???), an IN and THROUGH the minimum union in brief. The effects are just as reverb and echo with limits of 127 not adjustable. Detail not appreciable: it n 'y' has no preset or backup, which is particularly problematic in concert.

The ME-1 is an expander half rack, 1U, has 256 sounds divided into 16 banques.Les sounds are not editable at all, for that matter virtually nothing is editable on this machine.

Detail not appreciable: it n 'y' has no preset or backup, which is particularly problematic in concert.

UTILIZATION

Nonetheless, despite the poor 2 buttons, the interface is well thought out it is fast enough to choose its sounds and effects. The manual when he is the image of the Expander, still happily with the minimum patches to choose the instruments from a single keyboard maitre.Le interest of the expander is in the sound.

SOUNDS

Here we are, the sounds are stored by CATEGORY, the sounds of acoustic piano (32), are wonderful, highly crystalline, the sounds of Rhodes, Wurlitzer, FM EP (32 in all) are the best that I have heard, and responds well to attacks Veloci 's great to play live, if you want the best sound ... buy a rhodes rhodes. The clavinets are not bad, organs are not great, except one or two, the bass is incredibly realistic, and the percussion and drum sets. The synths and ground (although this is not the interest) are all made respctable, for cons for the rest (brass, voilons, accordion, guitar) it is better to turn to other expanders. In short if like me you want to use it as a group, and you seek a realistic and effective, then the ME-1 is for you.

OVERALL OPINION

Personally, with the ME-1, I found the quality I was looking for, and make a report qualitprix unbeatable (I have bought 500EUR) I tried several reputedly expanders such as JV or E-mu, I 've never found sounds as realistic and vivant.Cette machine allows me to have light equipment, easy to use and efficient in terms of sound quality. As against this must be the your first concern. If you find a machine to do everything, go your way.

Rgler for something on the rack ... it must be done via your software squence!
Otherwise nothing is possible except for the volume gnral, the effect type and level gnral ...
For the volume of each of the 16 channels (16 multitimbral voice!), The pan, it
Everything must be done on the computer!

UTILIZATION

There's no easier to understand ... but a button for programs and one for banks
t have better and more convenient ...
In fact we must use the same, and scne ... better have a good keyboard matre

But it's sr with 2 buttons and a rotary on the front ...

SOUNDS

I am of the same opinion that Oldmansbird!
Pianos, rhodes, Wurlis, bass, percussion and drums are falling!
Too bad just that the kits are not playable as they have t rpart on the keyboard ...
(Nothing Gnral Midi nor even of trs logical for a game of live patern ...
Unless you have long fingers of trs!)
For cons I would add that the brass are far from being bad! We must try them in a mix!
(As often with Kurzweil and E-mu) Listen to the sax! and accordion (if you are adept
shuffled) trs is good too. the guitars are held and the organs do not Vallent my taste!
(Better a Motif, Roland card 60 '70 "or a soft B4)
But overall for its price and ... It will kill them all!

OVERALL OPINION

Some weeks of use but I do take anywhere .... and I put it on everything!
The +: Its sounds biensr!
The -: None of its MIDI channels can be "mutquot;! (And it does not have his" death "or white!)
Therefore, it seems, a port south Reserved him anything that he! DAMAGE to me ... and
may be you who use (Erez)! Unless someone gives me a solution!
Me, I just found a hack to confuse by sending messages of "Bank
change "on Cubase ... So it rpond above on the channel in question!
I do it again tomorrow and buy the same same in my opinion a few years!
Excellent! (SOUNDS ...)

The Microensemble is a splendid instrument unfinished. It is a sound module, period, line.

UTILIZATION

I always wonder what goes into the head of a commercial firm to add was reluctant is a knob, a shortcut, something human. No doubt they will say: you have to justify our prices (discounts for hardware). In Kurzweil, it lacks a middle (the PC2R, the double). It said so much, missing effects (sounds of rhodes are good, but the machine does not provide the proper effect). The edition does not exist and the data is too hard potentiomtre: will he last?. Besides, have coordinated movements so as not to mislead you in your queries. Fortunately, with a keyboard matre, has little to do ...

SOUNDS

I bought this unit to sound. Just for the sound. My record is - in particular - that of the ambient (Massive Attack, Sakamoto, etc.), he does invent the machine. The register is also Soul Funk blues. Lches to play harmonies, the piano is gnreux and warm. Of course, 16 mega is not Giga, but the report is INTERESTED. I am a pianist particulirement picky and I support that for the scne, do not invest more (a Yamaha 2000 euros will not sound better but pass). 32 for piano (not even if there are often variants of the same sample), the purity of the bass and mids and the overall balance is bluffing m me if I have to admit dfaillance agaante in the octave is below the C4 (for more, there are no miracles, you need a piano or soft). The Rhodes are trs prcis (but unfortunately there is no real movement of his CHARACTERISTICS at Rhodes, there is no effect). Tablecloths and strings are simple and beautiful (lack of pan), the sounds of drums and percussion are excellent, the scattman is INTERESTED. Otherwise, it pouet pouet (Kurzweil organs do not care about our face) ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have the expander recently and I am reassured (I feared the gadget). Being given the price of 450 euros is a sound module and Rhodes piano properly (Roland and Yamaha are not better, Korg do not talk about). It's small, compact, glove for scne (I think that is enough even if I guess the PC2R, given its technical possibilities, has effects and layers most successful yet). But we have the money that a. ..
