Titou66 « Super toolbox. »
Published on 12/02/13 at 01:37Rack unit, three slots dedicated to sound cards (cfm) and a slot for a memory card (RAM), six buttons, sliders, a small screen, a volume knob and a headphone output, all in front.
Rear panel, two stereo mix outputs (Right, left mono), six separate outputs (1-6) and three twelve o'clock taken (in, out, thru).
No effects but can settings on each sound as panning, duration, tone, etc ...
Ability to create your own patches by blending sounds cards and those already existing in the rack.
UTILIZATION
From cursor buttons to scroll the different pages that lead to different functions (like a family tree), it is a bit tedious and the narrowness of the screen does not make things easy.
There are two modes of use, for a quick start and a (thicker) for further handling.
I did not even help the big record for most machines of that era worked like that.
SOUNDS
For sound, there is plenty to do, the interest is to acquire different cards as they are published by styles (Electronics, ethnic, sound effects ...) in order to have "anything to anything" they are still not very expensive.
Sounds (16 bits) are velvet and realistic enough ... Roland.
For my part I mostly use the sounds of the TR808 and ethnic sounds coming cards.
OVERALL OPINION
For over twenty years I have, the sound quality "ROLAND" and quantity related maps, and separate machine outputs are its main assets.
Impossible to separate myself saw the price for resale, I lose more than I would gain only.
Attention acquire cards is very important, with only the factory sounds, it is a bit tight.
