The Sirius is Quasimidi's
souped-up keyboard similar to the RaveOLution 309 and aimed directly at
the dance market. It's filled with knobs, buttons and cool colors. Designed
for total control for live performance or studio work!
Actually most knobs are dedicated to patch editing. It has a welcome new
feature, a modern vocoder! There are also 8 control knobs for setting
various mixer-type settings (level, pan, fx send). That's right, it has
effects on board! It's got a great sound too! Choose from basic categories
like 'bass sounds', 'dirty bass', 'pad sounds', 808 & 909 kits and
much more! There's plenty of memory (96 user patches) to store your own
creations. The filter and envelopes are flexible and sound very good.
Also taken from the Rave-O-Lution is the incredible pattern-based seven
track sequencer with part mutes and tap-tempo! A truly useful dance music
production synth capable for demanding studio use and creative live performance
control with excellent sounds and a funky new vocoder! An ideal all in-one-synth
for any DJ or dance musician! It has been used by KMFDM/MDFMK founder
Sascha Konietzko.
