seudop « Set short-term obsolescence »
Published on 10/01/14 at 14:42MOXF8: second round
The indicators on the rear panel connectors are not readable when you're at the keyboard. I put labels to correct this neglect.
The keyboard is okay.
Large black dots are:
1: a sequencer with very limited capacity, thirty small pieces and memory (PM) is full ... a joke? no, no! is in kilobytes? Planned obsolescence.
2: a USB port that lets hope the ability to record sound on key, and no, this is not possible, not expected, or should I say ... voluntarily discarded. Planned obsolescence.
The only solution for recording sound 16b / 44khz, but I have not tested the adapter needed is to connect a tablet to replace this computer not really suited to capture ideas improvised and spontaneity.
For MIDI, the tablet eliminates the need sequencer ridiculous. I use it for a midi adapter.
Another connection problem: twelve o'clock one entry, there should be a MIDI merge, or have an old keyboard with a richer connections. I use an old roland noon and 4 outputs with two MIDI inputs.
UTILIZATION
The manual is far too limited and unclear and educational sense. We must have recourse to dedicated websites to get by. I feel sorry for those new to the south.
SOUNDS
One very good piano sound.
Good sounds of flutes and strings, very realistic. Good expression.
I do get tired, after 7 months of use.
An array of useless in my opinion sounds.
The memory expansion card is an outrageous price, since for the same price you bought a high-end tablet, with 60 times more memory. Planned obsolescence yesterday.
OVERALL OPINION
Compared to many keyboards tested, its made a difference.
I have not tested the Kronos nor strong (not released at the time) ...
In short, it's a good sound machine, not a controller or a sequencer or a recorder or a sampler. The logic of the device irritates me, since it takes a computer next, what are all these buttons that immediately replaces software? They explain to me!
So, I highly recommend finding a used XF7 / 8, with the same sounds, without the petty savings side input / output, and other sequencer.
There is nothing more despicable than a sequencer that interrupts you in full creativity to report a full memory, you put ten take ages to transfer on USB key ... and that I do not forgive.
