μάλιστα!!!

Πολύ πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα πρόταση στην κατηγορία.

Για τις προσωπικές μου προτιμήσεις, περαν απο το εξαιρετικό sound engine και τους ηχους που αποδίδει με τη συνδρομή των εξαιρετικών............ plug out στο αντίστοιχο συνοδευτικο προφανώς software, χαρακτηριστικής "roland ποιότητας¨ που θα καλύψει τον χρήστη σε πολλά συχρονα μουσικα στυλ, στα συν υπολογίζω το vocoder, το ενσωματωμένο audio interface καθώς και την δυνατότητα να χρησιμοποιηθεί ως control surface.

 

Για τύπους σαν........ εμενα (χαχαχαχαχχαχαχα) και το πώς συνηθως δουλευω, είναι πολύ εκλυστική πρόταση, για να το εχω σαν βαση ηχων και σαν controller για το software μου, αν μη τι άλλο και με το design θα ομορφύνει το home studio μου.

 

δεν εβαζαν και κανα input παραπάνω, κανα instrument in,  μιας και ειναι και audio interface.

 

αυτα εκ πρώτης οψεως, θα το ψάξω παραπάνω, πολυ ενδιαφέρον

 

φερτε μου ενα να το στιψω χαχαχαχχαχαχα
