Sounds and looks like a terminator
I've had the modwave mk2 for about a month now and i really like it! altho it also has some lesser sides to it.
first impressions so far,
pros:
-Super impressed with the sound engine
-LOTS of wavetables and FX to choose from
-LOTS of modulation options for the wavetables (especially triggers for env/lfo are interesting)
-Plastic makes it light weight/easy for traveling
-Direct access to most things you will want to edit through knobs
-just barely touched the sequencer but it seems very powerfull and unique since its per note
-Some FX i havent seen in other synths yet like guitar amp and wahwah
-many custom mod knobs
-khaos pad+physics
-very easy to switch presets for live performance (16x4banks) right above your keys
cons:
-had some crashes/freezing while saving a preset, fingers crossed firmware update fixed this.. have to wait and see
-cant use LFO's or envelops to modulate FX, which sucks big time
-the plastic/lightweight makes it feel cheap
-keyboard is a bit noisy and no aftertouch
-FX rely on presets instead of direct access to some options making it hard to find the right effect you want sometimes
-Price (compared to mk1)
