Critic Reviews

Quasimidi Raven

soundonsound.com

If instant dance and techno tunes are your jam, the Quasimidi Raven is a dream machine. It shines with its seriously meaty sounds and operational simplicity, turning musical novices into dancefloor pros in no time. However, its internal sequencer is limited to four-on-the-floor beats, and there's no way to store song data externally. The absence of a disk drive and a poorly translated manual might deter some, but its unique 'Motivator' arpeggiator and polished sound make it a worthwhile consideration for DJs and producers seeking quick, powerful results.
