Everything has been said ...

UTILIZATION

The general config is simple, once you understand the logic of the machine. And what do you stop a bit anyway ...

Wholesale buttons control the instrument "in progress": if the instrument changes, the same driver so the same parameter button, but on the other instrument, QED ... I wish I could assign buttons to a instrument continuously, but hey, given in the context of the time it is anyway really intuitive way.

Separate outputs have also been welcome ....

The biggest concern for me is the bank access patterns. The machine always starts on the A01 ... to go to D24 for example, a single solution, turn the whole contraption that serves frail = wheel is chiantissime. A button to switch from one bank to the other it would have been good. A numeric keypad, a luxury ...

Similarly start some things reset (syncro noon memory protect). This is boring.

Boring as the impossibility of erasing a beating. But ...

SOUNDS

There is need to dig. Frankly there are patterns to the limit of unlistenable. Like "ultra-goa-trance-hardtek-and-blues" you might want to delete quickly. Other, more traditional, sound not bad and gives a good impression of what it can do.

Because "it" can do! The synth engine is really not bad, although I find it hard to really get the "potato". it really is not a 909, but sounds "old school" a little cheap it does. The progra is very simple, brief playing quickly with is very much alive, and for the price, no complaints.
The sequencer is programmed "on Roland", the shots when you know it is not out of place.

In any case you should see the machine as a dedicated synth percussion, just a drum with static sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

Machine very underrated I think. Very low rating provides a very good rhythm box that fits quite well in a set "electro pop" cheap. My mininova adopted it immediately. My TR505 made him up.

I did that for a short time and I do not have all increased. But for now, I program my patterns, and I find my sound very quickly. hair cell is what I wanted.
