For specification information see the website or Clavia.
This is a modeling synths most successful, even if a bit dated (many?), Its features are really huge.
The architecture is really well thought out, the principle of variation is sufficiently great, the number of modules available can do many things, even though sometimes there to taste too little.
For a synth of this ilk, the expansion card (fitted as standard on this model) is essential, there is a tendency to combine several modules to push further editing, which consumes additional CPU resources .
It's really a synth research completely modular and polyphonic Moreover, with excellent sound color. As summed Coyote14 is a machine very comprehensive ergonomic few words, a real success.

UTILIZATION

We can get out of basic sounds without special knowledge in the field of synthesis with some modules such as oscillators, filters and envelopes. on the other hand, knowledge synthesis are essential to exploit all the available modules with the correct routing to make the quintessence of this machine. The editor interface is very intuitive, we have a very clear visual of what we do. Assigning controllers is very easy, happiness!
The manual is very well done for my taste, very clear, all modules are very well explained in detail, all with a few examples.

SOUNDS

Sound side, the bass is good, leads very active and expressive sounds FX are hell, pads excellent rendering is stunning electric pianos, in short there is nothing to get rid of this synth is ease in all registers, including the FM sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year, I have tried a lot of keyboards and also has quite a bit in my set-up.
I like the ergonomics, modular side that allows a lot of things very nice, sound editing software very successful.
Cons: one additional DSP card is welcome!
I would do this choice without a doubt. The price is quite high but it is worth it.
