Nice controller for other modules, otherwise goofy with no control makes it useless. Get a muse, and control soft synths and have a analogue with alot of control.
Hallo, ich möchte gerne die Synth aus der Roland Cloud JV 1080 und XV 5080 mit meinem Keylab 88 Elements Live in der Band spielen. Kann man die Synth auch Stand Alone mit dem Aturia steuern, Sounds abspeichern und z.B. über die Pads direkt ansteuern? Immer über DAW (Reaper) und dann mit der Maus Sounds klicken finde ich Live sehr unpraktisch...das muss doch auch anders gehen,oder?
after 4 months of ownership, i'm selling it. It's a nice looking piece of furniture, some sort of demo gimmick and not a real instrument. Impossible to use live, useless in the studio if you already own Arturia plugins. A great miss IMHO
@@NicoMoratinos here a brief list: No seamless transition between sounds Loading next sound patch can take 2-6 seconds, depends on sound engine (6 seconds for samples) and fx If yoy play during patch load, strange things occur Terrible integration for midi i.e. you cannot control other devices in a proper way Audio input only for.... vocoder patches ! no backing tracks or other gear Saving personal patches variations is a pain , especially if you cannot work with a laptop USB midi only so no audio , no integration with daw on audio side (and live performace tools like Mainstage for example) Workaround with BT is impossible for latency and fx issues, cpu goes under pressure with click pop sounds Only 2.4GHz wifi, and works bad with many mixed dual frequency WIFI AP and, last but not least, 11121059138513 patches to play with, except the fact you can play decent on pianos, electric pianos and organs: polyphony of synth is a crap, mono is ok but finally you can use 20,30 sounds with more than 2 fingers at a time.. You need same sounds with no limitation? Buy Keylab, a Macbook air with an audio interface , mainstage and you'll still spend less than 1500€. If you already have, like me, their V-Collection in the studio, you'll spend a LOT less.... are these enoug to show how underpowered can be a 1500 euros gear? ;-)
I wouldn’t suggest buying it without the software - the small screen and limited number of knobs are a bit of a compromise to get a keyboard with 34 top quality synth engines. It’s definitely a producer-to-stage workflow
@@dusudloiso9408 nice reply. Dunno if you are so skilled and talented, but i'll bring the popcorn while looking you changing sounds during the performance and wait 5 seconds to have it ready. I didn't mention "talent" that, maybe, you are full of, i'm only warning people about THIS synth because every youtuber who received it (free?) from Arturia seems to like it, but - check the users forum - everyone who spent 1500€ buying it seems to find lots of problems, for the money spent: 1. Polyphony in poly patches 2. Sound change that takes seconds, no seamless transition 3. Midi implementation 4. Connectivity problems Maybe i'm not the only one who lacks talent...
maybe i'm old, but i'm not grinchy. I imagine you had one "French Touch" wonder for free, or don't have it at all to post such lame comments. If you own one, and play with more than two fingers at a time, you cannot say that, by now, this is a good item for the price. If you are here to troll and for the flame, you are welcome

14:36 totally agree. This is so important. Not having seamless transition is the biggest downfall and probably why I haven’t bought it yet
Arturia really does some crazy stuff, I had the origin and what a nightmare, they never got that beautiful thing right.

But why is imposible yo use Live ?

Terrible integration for midi i.e. you cannot control other devices in a proper way
Audio input only for.... vocoder patches ! no backing tracks or other gear
Saving personal patches variations is a pain , especially if you cannot work with a laptop
USB midi only so no audio , no integration with daw on audio side (and live performace tools like Mainstage for example)
Workaround with BT is impossible for latency and fx issues, cpu goes under pressure with click pop sounds
Only 2.4GHz wifi, and works bad with many mixed dual frequency WIFI AP

If you can’t play live….it’s not because of your synth…only because you need talent …..see you on stage bro 🌈
