Well, add nothing compared to the character of news except:
He has not made any 32-voice polyphony, 32 oscillators but if you use 2 oscillators per voice makes you so 16 votes (the sub-oscillators does not count)
When the sync-mode is enabled the sound will be monophonic and disables the filter (!). To filter the sound, we use the insert effect "Filter"

For the price [300], it is standard all he can do what synth

UTILIZATION

Operation is incredibly simple! no menu or combined cache, everything is faade, it has all ACCS directly at hand and it's a real pleasure to program sounds. Only BMOL: when called a sound, it is not clear what he paramtres and ds we touch a knob in the faade, the sound takes this value. If you want to find the original value, so it's ear that he must go, but it's not Gnant. (Well, there's a way pt'etre rgler for a, I have not finished the manual;))
So regarding the use, there's nothing more simple, if there's habitus of the virus, he will cry so much a change to have any direct ACCS.

Regarding the manual, it is well done, but a bit clumsy at times, and the layout gives forcment not want to read (big pile of text, not bold seer ...) but when we need an info prcise, it is effective. In any fawn is so simple to use this synth there is almost no need for manual.

SOUNDS

Ah, the big moment: the sound.

Well you got me there! Frankly excellent, sounds are a wealth phnomnale, destructive filters (must take it easy), and incredible opportunities: especially remarkable: the analog ground very deep and Dfine, leads many big fat (who said hardtrance?;)) that sounds acid dgueulent well. Otherwise, I too have seen yet, I only yesterday. Apparently There's way too good to leave the bass and rhythm kits tonn me with their quality can be much more traffickers.
Then the effects are fabulous super clean, you can sortire sounds really good originals, they increase the potential of this machine Fast Fashion.

Well, the sound will never replace that of a true analog, but as it is duly virtual, and hot! For comparison, I have the Nova, the sound is cleaner but less sharp and less expressive than the filters on the HS-32. I had the opportunity to test a lot so the virus from my friend, and SH-32 has nothing to envy sound quality issue. It will be less versatile sr I think, but in sound, I would have a same preferences for the SH-32. And compared the Electribe A, if the fawn with which one plays with the sound is comparable, the same sound it has nothing to do: the SH-32 has one of his best over, less dirty (the electribe is made of any fawn sounds very fat and DARC), and many more possibilities, but in the spirit, I think it's the synth which is close the most noise.
The fact is that the HS-32 can "mulate" a lot of synth thanks its 72 variations of waveforms (saw 12, 10 square, pulse 9, 10 noise, 10 triangle and the rest spectrum in [formants etc.]), so he really stamps varis trs.

OVERALL OPINION

Well I have since yesterday, but I enjoy a little crazy with this synth is duly!

Most of the synth sound the depth, filters, effects, the choice of waveforms.

The report qualitprix, it is crying: € 300 for a wonder like this is not the hsiter I do it again if we had that choice! J'hsite even buy me a deuxime ... ;)
