Technically, it is the little sister of the Roland R8, but technically very similar:
Connections:
Midi out in thru
Tape in out
Foot Start / stop
4 out instruments out "possible connection to battery electro"
2 Audio outputs
Phone 1
Pattern: 20 plants, much more programmable I believe
16 pads available, and many effects possible with programming.
Note that you can program against a low or a low (with sounds very realistic)
I give 10, technically at the time of the BAR, it is clear that today there are better, whatever ...

UTILIZATION

I have a Boss Dr maintenat 670 is more comprehensive but not necessarily more realistic or easier to program ... I miss the good old rhythms already in my R5, easily programmed when we used to. In fact one galley a little early and then it seems logical and easy. Piano bar is the ideal tool song with programmable in advance.
The manual is blah, and finally it is not worse!

SOUNDS

Sounds: This is the enormous strength of Bouzin! It was the good old Roland sounds in the box that's all ... and it does not feel the synthesizer at 100 meters ... Few conccurents still present on this point.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 15 years! not the slightest fault, if everything was like that!
Yes before I had tried to acquire a drummer, but it's bulky and it consumes a lot, I am separate cheap but I could still buy this sublime machine of boom boom Used (2000 F at the time). Seriously, it's a good BAR ultimately simple and robust. I have never regretted having yielded as my drummer ... what is not moral!
