Comments About the Sounds:
IT'S REALLY UP TO YOU HOW IT SOUNDS, THE MACHINE GIVES YOU SO MUCH CONTROL AND EDITING POSSIBLILITIES. YOU CAN SAMPLE WAVEFORMS AND PASS THEM THROUGH A WHOLE BUNCH OF FILTERS, OR YOU CAN DRAW YOUR OWN WAVEFORMS WITH THE MOUSE, AND THEN YOU HAVE CONTROL TO LOOP,TRUNCUATE,REVERSE,COMBINE,MIX AND MORE. FILTERS INCLUDE LFO-RATE SYNC MOD DELAY OFFSET POLARITY-,TVF EG SUSTAIN EG END EG RATE 1-8 EG LEVEL 1-8 KEY FOL LFO DEPTH EG POL,PITCH SHIFT,PITCH FOLLOW,FINE TUNE,PITCH BENDER,PITCH LFO DEPTH,AFTER TOUCH SENS,OCT SHIFT,UNISON MODE, AND LOTS MORE. IT,S A VERY COMPLETE AND HAS 8 OUTPUTS SO YOU CAN ASSIGN SAMPLES TO EACH OUT, U CAN EVEN USE AN AUDIO INPUT TO CONTROL THE SAMPLES(MUST BE SOME KIND OF GATE INPUT?) THERE IS A LOT MORE TO BE SAID ABOUT THE SEQUENCER THAT CAME WITH IT AND ALL THE GOODIES IT HAS TO OFFER. I LIKE THIS SAMPLER BECAUSE U CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE WAVEFORMS BEFORE U EDIT THEM GIVING YOU A BETTER IDEA OF WHERE TO SET THE LOOP,TRUNCUATE,MIX,ETC. AND IF YOU STILL CANNOT FIND IT THEN THE SEQUENCER CAN AUTOMATICALLY FIND IT FOR U. ON THE SEQUENCER PAGE U CAN HAVE EITHER A KEYBOARD,OR 8 KEYBOARDS TOGETHER VISUALY TO SEE WHAT IS PLAYING ON WHICH KEY, LOTS MORE TO OFFER, HOPE YOU HAVE A MANUAL, OTHERWISE ORDER ONE BECAUSE IT IS A NECESITY WITH SOMETHING THAT HAS AS MUCH CONTROL AS THIS.
