Well well I just bought at the price and nine mkII ... I do not think it changes much from the previous version except for a solid feel more blatant.

The connectors are complete for a machine of this type:
1 audio in (to use her as an oscillator)
2 audio out (Part I and Part II)

Midi in / out / thru

1 headphone stereo

In short everything you need and more for a machine of this price.
As against the power supply is external (= boring to walk transformer)

UTILIZATION

Super easy to handle. I was so excited that I read the manual a bit and I hacked right away. After it is advantageous to wrestle the manual for advanced functions, but it is very readable despite some shells.

SOUNDS

The sounds are synth sounds since it is an emulation of good quality. At first I did not use the effects included, and I found a few limited opportunities. The effects can even reach the ground the ethereal style CosmoGIRL Free VSTi for those who know.

Finally I put the 9 quality / price ratio. Indeed, there could be better but much more expensive.
A small regret, however, not in the sinusoidal waveforms of oscilloscope, which seems absurd.

OVERALL OPINION

A good little machine to wait very affordable (like myself) to a synth bigger. A small problem, the parameters like MIDI sync (enslavement by an external sequencer for example) are reset to default when the beast off. It's stupid, be repeated at each re-start. Apart from that there are not too many defects.

I would advise anyone wishing to sound very Appliances and want to tweak in real time.
