It is very sturdy construction. I expect it will last quite a while. Time will tell. I am happy with this. It sounds awesome. There is much to like about it. I listened to other emulators & demo's; bought one, downloaded a trial of another.. None so far has come close to the Arturia's emulation & quality of sound imho!
Sound
It reminds me of my old analog synth. But hey, that's kinda hard to replicate. Still these did great! The sound has to be heard to appreciate.
I listened to demo's on youtube, before the purchase. But when I purchased it, then I truly knew I was happy with the sounds this thing can make.
Features
I gave it a 9 due to sequencing. It would have been nice if it had something beyond just the snapshot ability. But I am still new to this digital emulator ware. I hear you can effectively tie sequencing software to this with ease. Also, it may have drove the price up above my means had they included on-board sequencing. This is affordable imo.
Ease of Use
It is straight-forward. Just play the thing and turn knobs. Be careful how you install the hardware software on your pc?! I highly suggest reading the manual on this one! I am one of those guys who usually just drops in the disk and voila I'm good to go.. This setup is slightly more demanding.
For peace of mind I suggest paying close attention to the installation.
Quality
Hey for the money....its fine. No complaints here. Although, I have only owned it for a couple of weeks and with no problems.
Value
It is worth it.
Manufacturer Support
I emailed them and got a fast response. The 9 is because I have no issue to report with the device.. And so I do not know how well they will handle that should anything come up. But so far so good.
The Wow Factor
I don't really have an answer for this. I just wanted it for what it is.. a musicians tool.
