ΜProcesseur consumption depends on how many generators / filters used and the number of voice polyphony ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have used 6 months / 1 year

- 4 oscillators (A / B / C / D) with ADSR graphic, amp and other parameters that are edited in the screen (folding) in the middle
- 26 waveforms per osc.
- 8 chaining algorithms for oscillators (A / B / C / D parallel, series, modulated by D / B / C PARALLEL, D modulated by C to B PARALLEL ...), A selectable modulated by graphic display: it is intuitive and easy to see)
- 1 LFO (7 waveforms) directed each of the 4 oscillators and the frequency filter cutoff with ADSR graph separately
- A filter with ADSR graphics, cut between 30 Hz and 18.5 KHz
- ADSR envelope with a pitch chart, all you need, implements ...
- Global Tone
- Up to 20 voice polyphony

And all possible settings of a synth, what, except that there is no arpeggiator, but it does not matter to the extent arpeggiator / matrices are arranged all this in Live MIDI Effect

You can of course be measured on each generator / filter the effect of velocity on freq. etc ...

This is a great synth with a well thought out ergonomics, which allows us to access easily and intuitively to each of the parameters that one wishes to change without stifling the user to 40,000 knobs and faders on a single page interface ( otherwise I do not see the point of a synth ...)
Integration with Live is perfect, obviously, and each parameter is assigned to a MIDI controller / keyboard on the same model as Live

Sounds great for rich, long, tablecloths, the effects of any kind, nature sounds, whistling sounds, sounds and deep acids etc ... Excellent sound quality

Finally, a brief synth it!
