OVERALL OPINION

The interface looks more like the synth drum machine, but is very clear. Patches / kits, the kit components and their parameters: Mix, OSC, Noise and Velocity, and the sequencer itself.
The grip is very fast, just a quick glance at the doc from time to time, but nothing insurmountable.
The quality (and quantity) of sounds offered by the patches is really incredible. it can range from mild style Minipops sounds to sounds incredibly aggressive and brutal, there has something for everyone (provided they are electronic).
Little more is the drag that can transform a pattern by noon the container simply sliding the window in the host sequencer. Very handy.
The only downside is the fact of not being able to create patterns of over 16 notes without having to go through the pattern chain function. But it is nevertheless possible to do from a previously created container twelve o'clock.
The multiplayer mode is also handy for separating different sounds in a patch.
In terms of sound, the possibilities are enormous and are based on creativity. If we ignore the amount of presets available, it is a little hack in the mind of Moog and other MS20, the ability to save more. To go further, do not be afraid to get their hands a little dirty and spend long days to "test", which personally excites me a lot. Finally, the last detail and not least in terms of resources, Microtronic not really hungry as all the sounds are generated and not sampled.
For a price more than honest, creative possibilities are virtually limitless, in any case, if you talk electro because clearly, the Microtronic is well positioned in this niche.
