Value For Money : Excellent
What connections (audio, MIDI ...)?
He has an effects section?
How many sounds, styles available?
Are they edited?
Through a utility for Mac / PC?
What are the characteristics of the sequencer?


I refer to the Korg website, even the tab 'info' Audiofanzine of the emx electribe ...
everything is very detailed ...

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple?
yes, very ...
This does not mean that the creative possibilities are reduced ...


The manual is clear and sufficient?
yes ..
it remains the language of instruction, not always clear but nothing too bad ...


Common functions are they easily accessible?
yes, thoroughly ..
all facades full of buttons ^ ^
of knobs galore, well enough adapted to be easily manipulated ...
few faders it would have been nice too ...

SOUNDS

The sounds they are suitable to your style of music?
yes ...
I look for an instrument capable of producing rhythms, melodies ...
all that sauce electro, with a good dose of fantasy ...


The expression is good? (Reaction to velocity, aftertouch to)?
there is no velocity on the keys, aftertouch or ...
it can be corrected with the addition of a MIDI keyboard, without breaking the bank, we find the nice ...



Are they realistic?
no ^ ^
but that's just fine, I was looking just sounds artificial, fat (or not), with the possibility to grind in every sense ...


The effects are they effective and responsive?
so,
must not abuse it too either, but being careful, we get good reviews ...
I am not using all the effects, I use the more conventional (delay, reverb) ...

ben ...
the good old "wave" as "Saw" and "Pulse" are very good, after there are a lot of modulation type ...
the trick is to start a wave of raw and work for something completely different ...

OVERALL OPINION

How long you use it?
since February, that is, 5 months ago now ...

Did you tried many other models before buying it?
no, not really, but I thoroughly search the net, in specialty stores, I ask for guidance from people around me who know this type of instrument ...

What is so special that you love the most, least?
as: very intuitive, allows easy expression
the least: the sequencer, which is very rigid, a note should be here or there, not in between! there is a function "swing" which enables to move notes in time but it's still not top-top ...

How would you rate the quality / price?
no regrets ...
nine is a very little bit expensive, but Cygnus' it is well worth the time, as long as the machine is impeccable ...

With experience, you do again this choice?
the end of my five months of use, yes ...




so basically, by buying it, I knew she did not samplait, she did not polyphony (not agreements), that it was not the best sequencer on the market, that drum sounds were relatively limited ...
I was looking for a machine with great sounds, easy to approach and complex over time ...
it's done!
