Value For Money : Excellent
I will not repeat his well-known feature.
Synth aesthetics rather successful but fairly light plastic.

UTILIZATION

Super simple and very easy to use. The editor of PC is very well made and practical utiliser.Les knob indicates small green LED and the initial setting the parameter value does not change until the button has not returned to its original position, ç ' is really well done!
At connection, I was happy to have a USB port, it avoids to occupy the midi interface connected to the PC and have only one cable.

SOUNDS

There are pros and cons:
The R3 is not really able to properly emulate real analog (as opposed to an Alesis Micron). The filter is only average and sounds very digital and without heat, and this, especially in the acute and growing resonance. But it has personality and he's a very clean. The waveforms are beyond the capabilities of a traditional analog and yield sounds quite unique. The sequencer modulation is very effective and easy to implement, and routed to a training example, we can make a sound that speaks: "Oye ouoaaahhéé oyo" is very funny and creative.
It is really great for tablecloths and sounds quite "ethereal". The effects are particularly successful, I have a weakness for the tape echo that is really good and close to an echo bandes.Le vocoder is very successful.
For me, this is not a "real" VA but there is a very good synth different, and that's what counts.

OVERALL OPINION

I recently purchased and I still have to discover. Every time I turn it on, I'm having with it.
I also have a micron to the different personality of R3 and is complementary because the two machines do not sound at all in the same way.

The value for money is good but I got it secondhand in mint condition.
Compared to the micron, it is still much more expensive for a comparable overall quality.
