Reface DX : amazing sound in a great form-factor

Im loving the Reface DX. Its sounds are inspiring, ranging from cheesy 80s EP-Sounds to modern aggressive-distortion-killer-synths. First ever FM-Synthesis-Device for me, so cant compare it to dx7 or anything of that kind. Even the presets are usable, what's barely ever the case.

It a range of build-in FX. Two of them usable at the same time, thats amazing!

I use it for producing techno as well as taking it on backpacking-trips.

I love the feel of the velocity-sensitive keybed. The size of the keys is a nice compromise for me.

The integrated speakers have a clear sound, thats pretty loud. The frequency-range doesnt reach very low though.

I dont like the interface-design with the ribbon-bands. It works well for programmig sounds but its not usable in a musical context. The ribbons are very jumpy and its impossible to play them smoothly. Its a pitty cause it would be awesome to have playable operators.

Summary: great sounding device in a compact form-factor. FM-Synthesis rules! big minus are the ribbon-band-controllers.
