- What type of keyboard (synth, piano ...)?
Viruel modular synth rack 3U (3U but he he needs 4 to enter ...).
- What connections (audio, MIDI pedals ...)?
1-4 audio, MIDI In / Out + PC In / Out (required for editor), sustain pedal and controller pedal.
- How many sounds, effects? What styles? Are they edited?
Sounds and effects and unlimited editable since it's a modular. Style: all electronic.
- Via a utility Mac / PC?
It's his big problem: The PC editor that works exclusively in W98 (I tried under Wine in Linux and it crashes under virtual machine seven or XP (virtual box) and it crashes. There remains the option of Nomad Open source but I also had problems with crashes) is good but is more developed ... Mac, it is reliable even after OS 8.6, under X, there is a beta but not on Mac, I do not know what it's worth ...
- What is polyphony? ...
Editable: max 32 with a single oscillator but max 4 when the patches become more complex.
UTILIZATION
- The general configuration is simple?
The publisher is very simple. However, it should know a little terminology of modular synths. This is perhaps the best way to learn this synthesis because it can not make connection error because the publisher says when possible. The machine is autonomous once programmed, but it is not programmable by itself. The editor is therefore required even for Loader patches already.
- Editing of sounds and effects is easy?
Yes ... with the editor
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
It is, to my knowledge, available only in English but it is a very good textbook.
I put 8: 9 / 10 for the manual and the quality of the publisher -1 for the fact that he is no longer followed by Clavia, and that it takes a w98 below the elbow ... (See Nomad ... I do not know what it's worth ...)
SOUNDS
- The sounds they are suitable to your style of music?
Electro ... Clavia sound is not a myth is a reality ...
- Are they realistic?
Is this the end?
- Effects are they effective and appropriate?
We must do everything yourself with modules ...
OVERALL OPINION
- For how long have you been using it?
4 months and am starting to master it.
- What thing do you like most/least about it?
Most: the modular / Least: buying an old PC to 10 € on Ebay for the original publisher ... I wish the sliders sequencers are controllable by knobs or MIDI ...
- Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Apart from this model and the G2 which costs an arm and more, we must go on true modular ...
- What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Today excellent (I got it in very good condition Used for 300 € ...).
- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
Sometimes twice a day ...
