Expressiveness/Sounds
:
7
There are 20 sounds: piano, piano 2, e piano, harpsi, clavi, organ 1,
organ 2, vibraphone, steel drum, jazz guitar, strings 1, strings 2,
flute, trombone, saxophone, synth 1, synth 2, acous bass, e bass,
chop bass. They are quite realistic and soft sounding. Suitable for
almost everything. It's possible to easily combine two sounds and as
said earlier then the polyphony becomes limited to 8 voices. Each sound can
be transposed or fine tuned. There is a chorus effect which itself
does not require twice the number of voices. Some other parameters are
key limit, 5 different scales and one of them are the Werckmeister,
touch sensitive changes in timbre that result from variations in midi velocity data.
20 edited sounds can be stored. Vibrato: speed, depth and delay.

I don't use this thing because I have so many other modules anyway.
The sounds aren't bad. Just too few to choose..
