"Few words about knobs & effects"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I think im not gonna stop using this. Information what many owners are seeking at this moment is; "where to find better replacement knobs for A4000 / A5000" Incl. me. Overall.. this could do everything, especially in electronic music. But of course its nice to own something else too..
Sound
Sound quality is good. Effects are not as good as in lexicons or ensoniq but usable.
Features
Much feats. :P Hardware programmer with 50 knobs would be nice! Now those complex envelopes and others needs too much tweaking.
Quality
All users know its weak spot. Knobs. They might work opposite way sometimes, like if you wanna increase some value with 1 step, it goes backwards 2.
Value
This are sold under their value, so its good buy. Much usability with little money.
Manufacturer Support
I have heard that theres no much support for this.. never tried though.
The Wow Factor
This is powerfull tool. Like if Ensoniq EPS16+ is instrument, i use A4k for big samples, drumkits if there is needed separate filters for each sound.. and so on.

Musical Style:

electronic, my own style, also acid house & a bit electro
