Instant party-in-a-box!

While I tweak it to get the specific sounds I want, I don't mess with the presets much in general. I think they sound great.

While it does lack some functionality and categorization I'm used to, the sounds and effects are a tradeoff (and price) I'm willing to make.

There are certain reviews I avoid. Those that use the words toy and noob and those that criticize presets "the presets suck." These are giveaways of bad reviews. They are usually devoid of any real, valid criticisms, ignore the strengths of the gear and usually reflect that the writer has no real musicianship skill or knowledge of synthesis. If they can't get the sounds they want out of this thing, there's no need spending a couple grand for units like a Virus. Just IMHO.

E-MX isn't from the same planet, someone says it's too limited, what i say is that you need a limited equipment and too much time, so you can release your inspiration.

The E-MX is perfect for making music and ideas very quickly. First i play with E-MX, and when i get idea i make blueprint(sculpture the idea on the E-MX), and after that i make it on the RM1x and control with it rest of my equipment.

E-MX is: - Fast - Intuitive - Looks good - Sounds good(for a groovebox)

isn't: - For people who want a full-scale seqvenser - Super hyper poly-synthesizer. (Again the 5 monoparts are very stunning in right hands, if you cannot do a bit, then you should start another hobby, for inspiration study) For the money you pay, i would say it's very good buy. 800€ isn't too much money for this beast(that it is).
