Analog modeling synthesizer, publisher via software such as "modular". 1 in/1out noon sharp to the editor, and 1in/out noon for the game

4 pots, 1 and 3 assignable master volume. Fully configurable midi.
Polyphony by percentage of CPU utilization. Example: one using 50% of its resources, polyphony is 2.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is a little confusing, since it must inevitably a multi MIDI input / output for playing and editing sounds. On the other hand the microphone does not output MIDI Through, which is quite annoying. The manual weighs a few pounds, and the grip is not instinctive for the neophyte in analog synthesis. However, after a few hours and with thousands of free sound banks making available on the net, not a real problem, everyone can get out of something. Although very

SOUNDS

keyboard type, the possibilities are endless sounds. It is neither more nor less, a classic Modular with a single processor instead of 4. Just go see the comments on this synthesizer.

Despite its small size, modular micro Rams 99% of analog synthesizers numerical modeling. The low point in all extremes, the highs can be hissy, piercing, soft, deep ... The sounds available are so diverse that it fits in almost any studio, regardless of the type of music. This is the keyboard, everyone uses it, and it's nice to have the sound of the synths that are usually worth 10 times more. Imitations of tb 303, sh 101, Moog and other junk are very different from the originals, but have almost the same potato. We took the opportunity to do some experimentation, and with minimal training are lots of low pork (no kidding, sometimes 909 tr swimming in the mist on the side) or acid loops absolutely insane.
Despite the limited polyphony, I 'm regularly serve, and for 10 years. Like all synths of this type, we never really did the trick.

OVERALL OPINION

I took it to replace my heavy synths and heavy to carry: my minimoog, the system 100 and other trinkets of 15 pounds that are boring like everyone to use. Start synths slowly, the keyboard remains. Unthinkable without them. On occasion it is around 200 euros, it's really unbeatable. A look at Korg elektribe and their sounds-squeaker squeaker, there's no picture: in this price range is one of the best choices.

However it is difficult to learn, and sometimes we would like some more polyphony, especially on complicated sounds that are usually monophonic the coup. I found the answer: I bought a second.

Little more: it is indestructible. I dragged around in backpacks, he slept outside, has trailed in the dust, smoke, never had a squeak or a loose connection.
