- What type of keyboard (synth, piano ...)? How many octaves?
No keyboard, a virtual expander synthetic analogue (digital synthesis).
- What controllers (pitch, modulation, sustain ...)?
Any MIDI controller is manageable by simple assignment
- What connection (Audio, MIDI, Pedal ...)?
2 stereo input, 2 stereo output, a MIDI IN, 1 MIDI THROUGH, 1 MIDI OUT, 1 headphone
- How many sounds, effects? What styles? Are they edited?
1 - Sounds Unlimited (real-time sound synthesis)
2 - number of effects (delay, chorus, phaser, distortion, reverb, etc.) and end up creatable (synthesis real-time effects)
3 - unlimited styles, being the most accessible electro, to the physical model (oscillator pinched strings)
4 - everything is 100% customizable as real-time
- Via a utility Mac / PC?
All creation is through the software provided, the parameter editing is done either via software or a good MIDI controller
- What is polyphony? ...
32 votes for the base engine, if we add the 32 expansion board dsp (300 400)
UTILIZATION
- The general configuration is it simple?
You have to know a minimum synthesis (already have used a keyboard VA, type micron ion, sh-201, Juno), it helps a lot.
- Publishing of sound effects or is it easy?
The editor allows you to create an architecture that will generate the sound. It's basically a synthesizer editor (meaning non-modular, as the models previously cited).
We choose from a variety of modules (oscillators, filters, LFO, sequencer, and more), they assemble as we see fit. In short, free time.
If we want to engage in the creation of an architecture coplète work, it can get complicated from the moment you can really do anything. It takes time to clearly define what you want to do, what are our limits (MIDI controller), what type of sound. But once that's done ... oh my god ^ ^
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
The manual is only used very little, most research information is via the software's help file is very comprehensive and well done
SOUNDS
I will answer all questions together.
You can do anything!
Of course the case of a VA synthesis module, not a ROMpler, very realistic acoustic sounds do not think about it. But already, listen to the sample patch of acoustic guitars available on the website, it is quite monstrous ...
Honestly I do not see what this machine can not do. Can be made that leads literally tear (if you like the sounds of Jordan Rudess and Richard West, it is quite possible), tablecloths Creamy desired, rhythmic electro, sequences do you want in here.
This is the ultimate machine that wants to create that sound, whether music or FX.
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
3 months
- What is so special that you like most and least?
The fact of not being limited to never have to tell me in a few months, "Damn, now that I know parcoeur the machine, I regret not being able to do this or that." No limit
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
No, the latest was an SH-201 (inevitably, the leap is great ... lol)
- How would you rate the quality / price?
Slightly above average, the problem is that there's no hardware much like it for that price. In fact there's nothing I think. For 900 euros you have a synth editor, while in other manufacturers you will find that pseudo-modular architecture (limited) for less, or VA synth wavetable + + ROMpler for many much more expensive (Kurzweil, Korg ), and finally often more limited in terms of editability.
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
When I can I will surely epansion DSP card, or they have released the G3, in this case I think about it .... but it is clear that yes, this is the machine that I had egg in addition to a rompleur realistic.
