Three wheels (pitch, modulation, modulation center), the "realtime controller" (a kind of pitch wheel four directions), the realtime creator (the equivalent of the Wavestation joystick), the two footswitches and assignable expression pedals are many paramtres: read all those modules synthse and effects. Drawbars mode, the buttons beneath the screen (two speed incremented / dcrmentation following pressure applied to them) are operating the drawbars.
The connection is complte enough: in addition to the Stereo output is assignable to a pair which may be added two other pairs and output thanks numrique an option card (not found, unfortunately ). The two sets of MIDI can make good use of the 32 multitimbral parts. on the other hand, MIDI clock messages are put / transmitted since the MIDI 1.
Two banks of 128 ROM sounds, both in RAM. A bank of 128 combinations in ROM, two RAM.
UTILIZATION
Overall, the OS of this synth is trs enjoyable, with many advanced functions, such as the choice of cutting or not the notes upon a change of sound, or the possibility CRER banks of remaps (3 for the sound-dernire ensuring the General MIDI compatibility, and 2 for combis) trs prparer useful to the enchantment of sounds dclencher with a switch.
The edition is greatly facilitated by the standard screen, trs bright. In edition of squenceur, it allows you to view the drum kits Drum Edit Manir a classic, and notes in the form of Grid Edit.
The edition of the modlisation paramtres read is not really easy, too often it means about the results without knowing what effect changes in values. on the other hand, combinations include everything you may need to scne or simply to control other machines: rglage mono / polyphonic dcalage of VLOC and pitch of the notes made MIDI, rassignation Controller of ...
Among the edition of the default sounds, note: the rglages are not in real time, the LFO did not fade ngatif, grids and VLOC zone keyboard to the four layers of each of four shares a sound component is not adjustable in playing the keyboard, no load from the floppy drive during the game
The manual, although relatively pais, is not very complete. However, the synth is intuitive enough to be able to do without.
SOUNDS
5 octaves of the keyboard that synth is one of the best I have tried until the: soft, with a jump bounce. He can play longer without fatigue. The sensitivity and aftertouch the VLOC (both adjustable) trs is good and fits all styles of play
The stepfather may sound dull in single player, but once intgres in a mix, they are perfectly in place and everything is usable. on the other hand, for displaying the synth synthse "acoustic modeling," we are far from what trs are able VL1 or even a one in Contents Z1 acoustic simulation. However, thanks to many trs paramtres of synthse and the number of oscillators (up to 32 per note Combi mode), we can CRER sounds really rich and vibrant and pads to a thickness rare.
The effects are really means. The limits are dlais 300 ms, which is really just for Multitaps the rverbes sound too "mono" and mtalliques, for the same distortion. But once again, this is felt especially in single player, and much less in real terms. For cons, the rotary speaker plutt is nice, with its SETTING THE drive, speed acclration / desclration indpendantes for AIGS and serious.
The sheets are superb, with a grain really diffrent following sounds (especially thanks to the possibility of modulation), the soloists are trs can be sharp or soft, and Rhodes electric pianos and acoustic tr s good (with good programming and dynamic layers LFO) and drum kits correct (except the hi-hats that have a dearth of AIGS). Brass and other solo strings, for cons, too mdiocres to be used.
Unfortunately, the sound of the instrument gnral is too late and I got Dfine. I have supper converters 16 bit / 44 kHz a little weak ... With no expansion card numrique, I do not know if this problem can be rsolu thanks her.
OVERALL OPINION
Using this keyboard for five years in conjunction with a JD-800 and a Wavestation, I am satisfied. This is one concert in j'emmne priori by the diversity and versatility of its sound and its possibilities of expression in live. The keyboard is not the preferences abroad: I sold my keyboard Fatar-Matra prfrais because I play on that of the Technics ...
This keyboard was trading at more than 20,000 francs its release in 1996. In 1997 I bought used 6500 francs! I can not thank enough the Failed business that has been with the Technics WSA! If I had me spare, I think that has to be a K2600 or a workstation of this caliber. So considering the price of these machines, the WSA should stay in my setup a few years!
