I use it for 5 months, I waited a bit for the connatre rdiger notice ...

Well, all more or less adj t say here, so I&#39;ll just raise a little something to my heart: the 4 Programs (sounds) are stacked in a minimum performance at beginners I I thought that was enough to build a good foundation for my lives, but I play with this synth more I want to put across ... Go a little point and less well liked because I 8 progs at the same time.
[edit]: I can not comment on the vocoder, I am not yet considered it, I will say what I think.

UTILIZATION

Let us return to the ergonomics of the bte: the beginners I did absolutely no rack, just because I was afraid that was not simple enough for the Newbie &#39;I am (that my first synth. Well, no. The KS Rack is very well done for level implmentation faade, the knobs are mostly assigned to a single function, and if singing, it is very simple to makes case this lil synth. I love it.
Everything is clear in the manual leaves a little against me on my hunger problem: it is mistranslated. In English, of course, but I do not know what they have translated before passing it in English, but it is not well translated. It caused me some head intake, especially for dipping how to automate performance changes in MIDI when I change my pattern of RM1x squenceur ... Well, OK, I&#39;m a brle in MIDI, but has, I put 2 points less, because I think a manual would still even be a clear and pr cis. Now I had the opportunity to stumble on many dubious phrases by bad translation - and I am far from being a quiche in English.

SOUNDS

Good.
Attack the big piece.
This is NOT a synth for Trance.
This is totally false.
Besides, I do not really see how one can assign a synth a particular kind of music, as given by DEFINITIONS, is a synthesis of its synthse. You can have anything you want, from the moment we know o get it.
Personally, I Live the Jungle / Drum&#39;n Bass, and I t bluff by the power of the bass KS Rack. Piece ending for online, I&#39;ll post the link here.
The effects are pretty good I got, from the distortion may be that is a little violent, too progressive, and some EQ Summary.
on the other hand, there are means of any rgler with onions: sustain, decay, attack, all this extremely well thanks to rpond faders envelope, I think it&#39;s a good trs ide. Is visualized immediately on o is, they are progressive, good common point.
For cons, the basic sounds presets are mostly quite Trancy actually, I personally IMMEDIATE erased the great majority, and I kept about fifty who were a good basis to make me change my Sounds me, but actually, for those who achte a synth to use the preset sound, this synth is a synth of Trance ...
Well, I can be pushed a little, or that I am a little too straight forward (I hack, j&#39;exprimente turning of all the senses, so given that I have no notion synth is, I almost anything up that has something that gives me flat, well, it was as I started understanding some mcanismes ), But the fact remains that some of my sounds are a bit ugly ... They undergo an unexplained change in volume in the middle of a sentence when I play for example, or they become quite ugly, and cute blowing, but I&#39;m sure has more than just my personal incomptence that the synth in itself.

OVERALL OPINION

It is, as I said dj, my first synth (before I had a RM1x, but really has nothing to see, even if has taught me a few tricks, including the envelope).
I have long hsit between the KS Rack and the Alesis Micron ( https://fr.audiofanzine.com/produits/index%2Cidproduit%2C35584.html ) , but ultimately for reasons of ergonomics (3 knobs for Micron weapon against the knobs and faders of KS has not tran ) I chose the KS Rack, and I think I have no regrets.
The Micron has presets can be a little plsu hot rounder ... But I&#39;d have to try it srieusement several hours to give a real opinion on it, and all I fawns KS, so as to be satisfied.
I am satisfied. Trs same content.
I urge anyone seeking a small module synthse nice, capable of laying all types of sounds, not boring and ergonomic handle, and that we can live without crushing problem ...
In terms of quality-price ratio, considering the price it more popular now and what is done in competition, I think being from the Micron, there is nothing better. Simply.
I forget srement qualities, and as much default, but it seems that for the time I made a pretty good description of what I now think of this machine. I put revienderai days notice ...
