Until you get one of the many computer-based editors, you'll have to live with the presets. It defaults to a the medium-hall program with a moderate decay time. It's handy, but you have to set it manually every time you turn on the machine. Although the MT-32 allows the user to set a good array of features from the front panel (including an 'all notes off' switch), you need either a good memory or a hand-made template to remember that hitting MASTER + PART 4 allows you to turn on the Overflow Assign function.ДЄlong with voice and volume settings for all nine channels, you can modify reverb decay time.

You get to Channels 6 through 8 by holding down the Master button plus the selector for Channels 1,2 or 3. Six buttons for nine channels? Well, yes.

The six channel-select buttons can be used to examine what patch and volume are selected on each of the eight channels plus the rhythm channel. Unfortunately, you have to be facing it straight on for maximum visibility. The LCD is informative and quite readable under most lighting conditions. The front panel features a 16-character, backlit LCD display, six channel-select buttons and a rotary pot for selecting sounds and setting volumes. Putting the on/off switch here was a good idea, considering how easy it would be to accidentally hit it while making front panel adjustments. The back panel has two Вј-inch output jacks, along with MIDI In, Out and Through. With a footprint the size of this page, and about two inches high, it's hardly a wonder that this is a favorite demo box at the trade shows. With the exception of the cheaper and considerably less-powerful Yamaha FB-01, this is probably the lightest synth around. The adapter is justified in the portability it lends to the unit. The MT-32 is a small black box with an external power supply. Priced at approximately $700, the unit sold unexpectedly well to musicians who needed high performance on a low budget.ДЄpart from a host of great features, buyers also got what must be the oddest operating system quirk in recent synth history. After all, here was a module with D-50-type sounds, multitimbral operation and a bevy of drum samples thrown in for good measure. In what has become a company tradition, Roland introduced an abbreviated version of the same technology for the home market.Дubbed the MT-32, company officials were surprised when semipros started gobbling up the units.

When Roland introduced its D-50 synthesizer, it was priced for the full professional, not for regular mortals on limited incomes. He's now a full-time journalism student at the University of Western Ontario. The hi-hat open and close effects may prove useful, but I haven't tried those properly yet - I'll try playing around with them when a future project needs it.Michael Friesen has worked as a bookbinder, a chicken shed cleaner, a cow milker, a ditch digger, a jingle composer and a synthesist for a touring theatre company. My conclusion is that I'm far better served by the Acoustica drum kit selection (I have Mixcraft 6 Studio), because with some applied EQ, compression and reverb I can at least achieve a nice big authentic sound.

Unfortunately, this free download is stuck with only one (lame) drum kit. So much for this being correctly equalized already! To get it sounding reasonably okay I have to kill the 8khz band completely and give some boost at 63khz. The kick drum sounds a bit powder-puff, with far too much high frequency content around the 8khz band that reveals a metallic click sound, and putting it though a compressor just brings this out even more. The floor tom has no depth, sounding far too shallow, so I had to give the 125hz band a massive 18dB boost (all the way up with the Acoustica EQ) in order to get it sounding anywhere near decent. As for the crash cymbals, they are just lightweight and limp.

It sounds like someone has removed the snare (the loose spring that straps on underneath), which ends up making it sound like a tom with too much high-mids applied.

My manual adjustments proved just as chaotic. the left crash is, by default, mapped to C#2, but it plays at C#3, and the rim-shot (Side-Stick) plays at C#2 but is mapped at C#1. The mapping feature in 'Settings' is all over the place too, whereby the octaves in midi are referenced wrongly, eg. They claim they've set up the eq correctly, but it's just plain wrong, and the inbuilt compressor controls do nothing. I'm not surprised they gave up trying to make any money out of this because the quality is mediocre, and I would imagine the demands for a refund were appearing in droves.
