"L'essentiel est là ;) The Riverkey intègre les fonctionnalités attendues. The Riverkey correspond à mes attentes, c'est un excellent centre de contrôle pour les configurations hétéroclites pleines de CVs, Gates et autres Midi. La commutation des profils permet de passer d'un univers à l'autre et la disponibilité individuelle des séquenceurs et arpégiateurs est plutôt créative. Très plaisant."

MOOG The Source Vs BALORAN The River

Published on Oct 15, 2019 Laurent Lecatelier

"Comparaison entre le MOOG The Source et The River (numéro 00072 presque prêt à partir, le clavier n'est pas fixé :D :D) . J'ai reprogrammé sur The River les 15 patchs du manuel de l'utilisateur MOOG en essayant d'être le plus proche possible ;)

Pour le son SyntheVox (12), rien à faire, ce n'est pas possible, la molette, les plages de réglages sont différentes. Pour le Trill (10), je suis content du résultat même si le range de la modulation ne permet pas l'octave. Tous les sons avce le noise sont très différents car je n'utilise pas la puce du The Source comme générateur de bruit."
