Good day.
First and foremost, I want prciser a test and a product is on AudioFanzine Submitted. A visit and the site www.clavia.se.
This is a virtual semi-modular synth. I explain this unfortunate formulation.
There are two parts:
- The onboard hardware DSP 4 (expandable 8), controllers and connections;
- To assemble the software patches and perform transfers.
Communication between both parties is done via a pair of MIDI connections ddi.
Each patch is either a "simple sound" (as a "program" in a synthetic lambda), a synthetic whole, with its buttons and a multitude of rglages that give many DIFFERENT sounds (like a analog). With audio input, it can also be a multi-effect original.
Who does not want, or not known to his propore patches, there are thousands of download on the net. They can be reworked on the home PC / Mac, and flash in the rack to mount on the boards. Or have a portable scne, why not.
Bulk:
- 32-voice polyphony of 4 according to complexity of patches (minimum 8 expandable card optional). On this subject, see the test;
- 4-part multitimbral;
- Connectivity: 4 Audio Out, 2 Audio IN, a headphone jack, sustain, expression (all in 6.35), MIDI in / out, PC in / out (the couple MIDI ddi);
- 18 assignable knobs compltements.
UTILIZATION
The configuration is very simple. If your MIDI interface is properly installed, the software DTECT aussitt the synth.
The manual is complete trs: description of soft, hard, each module available, and the bases synthse. It is available in the language of Molire requested, I believe it.
The edition, which is you do. Its buttons are assigned to paramtres we want, we INSRE the modules you want, it's total freedom. Thanks to groups of morphing, a button can even CONTRL paramtres several at the same time, on a beach program also by you. At worst, the patches contain the net wonders, but the charm of the machine RSID in its programming.
SOUNDS
At the sound is versatile trs. Obviously we can find the sounds of Nordlead and set things done all Different. I have not tried many competitors, but I read that sounds a little Clavia taient typs. Well, either.
I got very good sub bass, leads the original, bizarre sound effects, pads or NewWave trs organic ... I even programmed a patch that simulates a storm: one dose in the wind, rain room, plop the plic, thunder etc.
You can also program the "noodles" cd patches gnrent that sound alone. They are launched, and they make their living.
In terms of using multi-effect, do not look for reverb. You will fall plutt on the chorus, the distortion, and all kinds of dynamic filters (with envelope follower ...) and other pitch follower, vocoders etc. Trs trs is convincing.
Everything is trsrpandu on the net: a mailing list, thousands of patches, I RPET, programming techniques advance, more or less ... teeming with resources.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for about ten months. I'm in love. I find it hard be objective, but I will try to raise some default:
- When you load a patch, the distribution of the DSP power is recalculated and the sound is interrupted half a second. This problem scared me, but suffice it to load its prvoir and 4 patches in advance.
- A couple MIDI for communication and another for the ride. Some find it embtant, not me.
- The NCESS the platform.
- To the frustration of time tural like me, you would like even more Controller ... but 18 buttons, one sees so often not the end, all the same ...
- When using the patches on the Internet, we do not know forcment assignments buttons: yes, there is no srigraphie faade on the craft.
I do not see much else.
In its favor, I'd say it's a synth that leaves room prpondrante the Fast Fashion. Obviously it can emulate the old analog, but again, its true potential RSID in programming and the many "audioriginalits" that can be drawn.
There are not many competitors, so I did not really hsit. At that price I l Rasht eyes closed. A three times that price, I would go for the G2.
I put 9 / 10 because every time can you put 10/10? This is not me who lack the desire.
