Teragon Audio

(Originally written by Hur/translated from Audiofanzine FR) - Did you have any problems during installation? Yes. - Did you encounter any incompatibility problems? No. - Is the overall configuration easy? No. Is the user's manual clear and comprehensive? Yes. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE - What's your computer? (motherboard/CPU/RAM/HDD/sound card..) Modern PC but not very powerful, Ableton Live 7 - Does the software work correctly with your setup? Yes. - How is the performance? (if quantifiable) Pffff - What about the hardware+software configuration stability? Stable OVERALL OPINION - How long have you been using it? About 45 minutes! - Which feature do you like the most / the least? Pros: Design, not bad but not original. Cons: Few presets provided and they don't work with LIVE 7. It seems it all comes from the matrix, which isn't very practical and whose settings have a clear effect on the wave form of each oscillator as well as the filter. Other settings don't affect the sound... or maybe my ears are the problem... I'm utterly disappointed because the only sounds I got out of it were something between a fart and a huge xylophone, even though I gave it my best and I was motivated and positive! Freeware tools like Microtonic or Drumatic 3 are more interesting to create big bass drum sounds. Even some virtual analog synthesizers, or samplers, of course... - Did you try any other models before buying it? Yes - How would you rate its value for money? Excellent, it's free. - Based on your experience, would you buy this product again? No.
