Immerse yourself in your favorite music with 3D surround sound experience!.It's great at tweaking the sound to sit it in the mix fine.About Boom: Music Player, Bass Booster and Equalizerīoom is a powerful Music Player with a magical 3D surround sound, powerful Bass and an advanced Equalizer I mostly use this for noodling on guitar and experimenting before trying to record something (because again, there's better reverb out there), but I predominantly use it for synths, and in that regard it has been serving me VERY well indeed. There's some nice little features like being able to trigger the start point of effects, cycles and so on via MIDI. So, buying it for an all-in-one thing is exactly what I wanted. But there's tons of features and it does these all pretty damned well for the price. The reverbs are a bit uninspiring and you'd be better served getting a dedicated reverb unit if you have issue with this.
I found the menus a bit weird at first, but that's something a bit of manual reading easily fixes. Solid metal, and buttons are OK and should last fine. The build quality is really good for the price.
I picked this up on a whim after seeing it going so cheaply and needing a new all-in-one solution for my small home. For the price, definitely get it, you can't go wrong. The unit is simple in setup and easy to work with, produces nice sound and gives plenty of presets to chose from. It's acceptable, don't expect too much from reverb as presets sound quite average. I dare you to find more a affordable multi-fx processor with such a wide selection of effects. All you have to do is to record a valid preset change event somewhere at the beginning of your track and the unit will react promptly. I really enjoyed the ability to recall stored presets using MIDI messages.
MIDI in/out connectors allow you to recall a preset or to dump them to a PC using the MIDI SysEx. Some effects require MIDI input to set tempo and such. FX bypass push button and compare are nice to quickly skim though and preview the effects. Each effect has 8 tweak-able params (knobs EDIT A through EDIT F + EQ LO, EQ HI). There are 8 master effects groups (Reverb, Delay, Modulation, Dynamics, Psycho Acoustics, Filter/EQ, Distortion/Amp and Special FX) within these groups you get certain sub-types and even effect combos such as REV+DLY etc.
You get 100 presets and you can alter them in unimaginable ways and store in another bank of 100 user presets. Connectors are all of decent quality and fit nicely. Plastic knobs feel a bit cheap and wiggly at first but you get used to it and after 2 years I can't complain. Really sturdy metallic chassis (some of the edges are "razor" sharp so watch out, don't cut your fingers). As usual I had a hundred in my pocket waiting to get a bang for my buck (or pound :) and this is how I met the Behringer FX 2000 processor. To avoid it I had to find a stand-alone multi-fx processor which would allow me to have more effects without the need to re-sample. When I needed more effects or wanted to do some crazy processing using the multi-fx processor I had to resort to re-sampling. It used to have only 3 effects slots (1x reverb, 2x delay/chorus, 3x multi-fx). A few years ago I used to rock a Roland MV-8800 production studio.
