Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I will supplement this with other boards. But overall I feel this is not a very strong collection. I have other exapnsion cards/boards that I think meet my expactations better.
Sound
Sound is very clean.
Features
Too many waveforms sound too close to each other. Lots of saws and other waves are sampled from different vintage instruments but they sound so close that there really is no point. Could have have featured more sampled "patches" from vintage synths to capture the filters, LFO's and envelpoes from the real thing. Basically those things help give an instrument its character.
Quality
N/A (its a circuit board)
Value
I'm glad I got it at a reduced price.
Manufacturer Support
I have requested information on products several times via their website and mail and they have failed to reply.
The Wow Factor
I feel the Roland Vintage synth board falls way short. I think the techno board offers sevral more useful waveforms that sound more vitage synth than what is offered.
