See more details of the manufacturer and other notices for details.

But we must still say that the outputs 3 / 4 are very useful, and the fact that the tracks are monophonic synth is very <span class="arial-24-gris-b">annoying.</span>

UTILIZATION

Its super easy, I managed to make the same pattern without reading the manual.

A little more dificil is programming step-by-step synths and composition of the song, but it is not dificil after reading the manual.

SOUNDS

Bass Drum: I just found a really good for use without distortion. For hardtek I use a distortion pedal external, and I use a few different bass drum sounds (not simultaneously).

Snare: There is a good drum & bass, otherwise I use the snare of 808, but the problem is that they sound in the treble and with Charley, for example, the sound can become quite rotted quickly.

Charley, cymbals: There are a few interesting sounds, but there's the problem acute. In addition to the pitch of these sounds sounds <span class="arial-24-gris-b">rather like a filter, but filter out all frequencies.</span> One of his KPR77 (shame, it's the Korg).

Tom Simmons will have one very useful, also some electronic sounds. The perceived sounds (including tabla) are not terrible, though utils.

But the highlight is that you can change the sounds with the modulator, then the beast is not so limited, there is a lot more sounds in it.

The synth has only 2 <span class="arial-24-gris-b">parameters and filter bad, we are far from virtual analog. You can also use the modulator, but if you want to make acid or</span> with <span class="arial-24-gris-b">Vangelis,</span> forget. on the other hand synths are nice for making synthetic percussion.

There 's a model that makes synth arrangements, not bad but you have to use more than one track if you want different types of agreements, or you can copy the sound and use some tips to make agreements, but after that not so good if you want to mess with the effects or sound.

I find the lamps <span class="arial-24-gris-b">rather</span> gadget. It is not possible to adjust their sound on some instruments, if you want on the bass drum and snare not, for example, you must remove the snare from the outlets 3 / 4, but you can not use effects . In comparison with the lights at least, the sound output by 3 / 4 a little less distortion in the treble (but still he y 'distortion in the treble). The sound with the lamps is also a little "fat", not really in serious but serious medium.

It must also be careful not to get too serious.

I use the delay and reverb, the sound is good, occasionally other effects such as distortion, decimator, etc.. (But not on the kick - I only use the equalizer or exit 3).

All told, it is possible to make music more calm as the dub and trance, but you have more tweaking to reduce distortion. For hardtek / hardcore is much more useful.

OVERALL OPINION

J'utiise 2 months, I think.

I like the sequencer, the sounds are not terrible, but it is usable in some cases, keyboards, too. I tried synths with real filters and it rocks with the sequencer is fun even if you do not use sound.

I have not tried the other "groovebox", but I think it is possible to compare with the Roland MC-505 and Yamaha RM1x. I listened <span class="conjuguaison">ed pieces made ​​with only the MC-505, I think the Roland sounds much better and I am also convinced that the filters are RM1x better. But I have not tried these sequencers to say how we work with.

The Emx is being manufactured from 2003 until</span> <span class="arial-24-gris-b">now, it's much more than others and quite easy to find new or used.

I</span> ref <span class="conjuguaison">érais this only if the buyer knows well the limitations and want to connect devices such as synthesizers, samplers, drum machines, even, and perhaps also a distortion pedal for harder stuff.
