Kudos to what you said about "professional" keyboards. Thats all rubbish. Like you said, the microkorg or other similar "low" to "mid" range keyboards sometimes have fantastic sounds if you know what to do with them. At the end of the day its all about the artist behind the keyboard and what they do with it.

Until now, as a newbie to synth purchase, I've been finding my slog through video reviews really, really taxing - they're all sooooo boring and technical, presuming I already know what they're short handing. BUT this one is so accessible, and entertaining to boot, that I might buy one of these just for the watching experience. It looks great, and the demo was exactly what I needed to see - a clear scoping of what it does, how it does it and what you can do with the noodling you'll get. Great job, thanks.

I just purchased one of these. And I must say I am VERY pleased with it. - I tried many others that were on display at Long & McQuade in Canada. This one is probably the most versatile, and best bang for buck. Or pretty close to it. It can be interfaced with most music Comp programs - Ableton Live - And can therefore do almost ANYTHING, that one can expect from devices costing much more. This device is quite user friendly.

Cyan Blackflower is it possible to have let’s say a compressor on digital Synth 1 but distortion on digital synth 2? Every time I change the effect on part 1 it changes to part 2 and analog..I want to control both separately. Any help would be appreciated.

Fantastic video, a very comprehensive and detailed presentation. Jack's certainly got a knack for it and I hope he does more videos in the future. He's an absolute blast to watch and only when the vid ended did I realise that it was nearly half an hour long. I now have an unexplained urge to buy a synth. If I only knew someone in my family that played one ;) Kudos mate, you're a natural.

Would it of hurt to use a higher rez encoder on the filter ? I don't know maybe it is smoother on the mod wheel. Never lliked the TR kits on the old 'groove approved' stuff from the 90s/00s, but the kits on this sound pretty nice. I wonder if they are PCM or modelled from the Aira series.

If you are into actual synthesis basics than you'd know that with filter resonance cranked on saw wave it's impossible to get non-stepped sound, because cutoff accent each saw wave harmonic and get that harmonic jump. If you want to hear if it can do smooth filtering than you need to filter white or purple noise. Also if you want to hear what distortions do than you need less than full spectrum laid with harmonics, because it's hard to hear distortion introduced harmonics. I'd suggest to use filtering with some resonance.

Hi There! My MMT-8 hardware sequencer song mode is not working as expected when I use more than one synth with it. The midi-channel that contains the kick drum data from my ROLAND JD-Xi multi-timbral synth doesn't active when the steps progress from 01 to 02 etc. Any Idea why this might be the case? (I'm using a Roland JD-Xi for the drums, and a Bass Station II for the bass parts) Thanks.
