We open the box, you put the cartridge, it runs the software, we find for 5 minutes and rolling! If you are used synthesizers obviously ...

As against the headphone I'm single, I'll test it in a mixer to see if it comes from my headphone ... In the menus (including the DS) I did not find choices mono / stereo.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Obviously it is designed for Nintendo DS, miss more than that plant, but not!

OVERALL OPINION

For a few days I hack. It is quick to tinker a sequence of "No stress"!

At his I think it's very good, we have the basic waveforms, and we have a real choice of settings, with even a distortion and a small multi-effect sufficiently configurable.

The architecture is simple: two synthesizers + one drum. The mixer has six channels: one for synth, 4 for 4 drum sounds (kick + snare + + hh effect like tom or zap). All overseen by a sequencer patterns, which can of course combine to make a song. You can save, I think, 48 songs.

Small regret, the synths are monophonic ... At the same time it's supposed to recall a MS-10, huh! Good Moo ... Next time if we could have a DS-30 voice polyphony with 3 on at least one of the synths that would be cool!

Other than that, a "Kaoss" is cool, whether to play the notes or changing the filters, for example. Another regret anyway, you have to play the notes with the sequencer on the road. No way to play "freestyle" without tempo imposed.

I'll ask a Kaossilator at Christmas anyway ;-)
This is not the same thing, anyway ...
