For all characteristics has been said in the posts below.

UTILIZATION

Minimal manual. Fortunately use "construction of his killing" mode is intuitive. Nothing to do with the Japanese competitors linters parameters, level of interwoven menus, and "templates" to help make sense. Here we touch the knob and hear the effect. simple and effective.

SOUNDS

THE big highlight of this fabulous machine! For years I looking for a lead sound good singing in the Minimoog
(I use this synth on stage for the Jazz-Rock) never succeed to get the various synthesizers I possesses. The in half an hour it was done!
Often people who come after a talk show set is interested by NORDWAVE. It produces sounds with a lot of personality and "out" in the mix much better than other machines I use (Yamaha S90, Roland XV and Roland JP8000) is the star!
Lead in sounds, tablecloths textural and complex modulations it is remarkable. For sounds acoustic style pianos / violins / brass is not his thing.

OVERALL OPINION

The synth + attaching I possesses far. It is light, which is very appreciable for the stage. The sound engineers are often surprised by the "potato" it delivers. on the other hand I find mediocre reliability: it had to go into repair twice in two years: 1 times cramée USB audio output and a part of the deteriorated internal programming socket, one time. In this respect, this is what I explained the technician: in fact Clavia does not capa series of decoupling on the audio output does not denature the sound (they are among the only ones who do like this) and look if there are defects in common mode or "spikes" that back by jacks, the synthesizer is vulnerable. This is embarrassing because on stage is not always mastery configurations => better isolate the audio outputs a DI box.
I hope it will keep for a long time ... otherwise I will replace the same!
