Just click here expander modular (sounds electronic edition with a computer image of an analog), as you say, if you search for sounds of piano or violin is not worth it!
Connectivity: USB (for editing the synth and banks via a PC) MIDI THROUGH, IN, OUT DIN for use with a master keyboard (which I did); 4Outputs 1 / 4 jack (2 per 2 according to the edition of the outputs from the software) as well as 4 Inputs 1 / 4 jack, a jack Headphones 1 / 4 jack too.
You can put what you want, oscillators, LFOs, filters etc ... until the DSP no longer supports, in addition there is an extension (hardware) as you say that the possibilities are infinies.La polyphony is enough lean at first, is better now to the extension sooner or later
I put 8 because of the polyphony and there have not in the preamp input for microphones.

UTILIZATION

... This is the configuration of modular vrément therefore not simple at all, at the beginning you wonder if it is necessary to be container 8 in electronics to understand, I who am just end after 3 months I begin to understand how to make good sound (electronic knowledge can be an asset to understand more quickly but not essential).
The edition is as it sounds on an analog, Oscilo, filter, envelopes etc ... with sequencers and stuff that are reminiscent of analos.
It connects with any wireless and sound enclosures sprung!
I put 10 because for such a potential, I find the perfect interface

SOUNDS

I play with just about everything, I use it in a group of post-rock atmospheres (FX and pads galore), to make the big electro music, the experimental, the advantage of modular is an exploration not only limit or barrier is the imagination.
The effects are simple and effective.
If the patch or performance is to program the synth responds very well to aftertouch and the vélocitée.
Sonoritée I like, I say "experimental", although the big FX and some murky sounds very electronic.
FM sounds (by the way they are put a package) I find it vrément ugly, cheap and sounds cheap but very ugly kind
I use an arranger keyboard on stage for piano sounds, although there are some very interesting simulations pianos on G2
I put 9 because banks are afraid of origin even when some (hopefully we can all sounds architecting, and download and edit)

OVERALL OPINION

I have this synth for 3 months at the beginning I was completely lost as compared to G2, the engine needs a powerful master keyboard, so must be familiar with the agreement of the two machines.
its kind that is unique synth at the beginning I was a little disappointed because I did not arrive till the sounds out of banks (only patches) without being able to change anything with knobs, then I learned, and I find it more and more terrible, we can do a live well with this little red box is very powerful.
It's expensive for sure, but I find the synth that I must
With experience, I would buy even earlier!
