Easy way to get FM sound in a tiny box
3 of 3 found this helpful What is FM sound? "Zzzz", sonant and loud the same time transparent when compared with some kinds of thick and rude analog bass.
Very "electronic" sound.
Piano is the most banal purpose (electropiano of course), but also it can do easily bells, longer pads and even some kind of bass, reminding or not reminding tb303 sequencies.
More sounds... tweak it. Robotic speaking, oldschool game sounds or something more gentle with thoroughful tuning.
Drum sounds? You can try and get maybe something acceptable, but i'd say "hardly" in general. It is not a drum synth.
What is a bit confusing: fast attack produces very audible "switch-on-click" (by the way envelope settings are exactly rates, not times - i.e. 99 means the fastest and 0 means the slowest).
May be i'm doing something wrong here...
It was about the sound. Next about usability:
very compact and lightweight, great to carry;
but other side - it feels NOT robust (especially sliders). Need to handle with care.
And... it could be not so convenient with thick fingers. Knobs are small and close each to another.
The most playable is the only one "velocity" slider (right). All the rest is more for tuning than for playing, but depends of...
... and the last I wanted to say: please do not consider this machine(s) as the center, the heart of your setup!
It is a spice, ok let be component. It is not the whole main dish.
