>Just for noodling. And trying it in a store. And playing with friends (you don't need much to play along an acoustic guitar). Or playing and singing in a room, or next to a campfire.

Who plays an FM synth on a campfire? Not even Kraftwerk! And I don't think it's for jamming with friends with acoustic guitars either. It's more for electronic musicians and keyboardists wanting something portable to noodle at home, or indie musicians for when playing live.






Me? I downloaded a wurly patch “wurly logic” that I can pretty much play like a piano on the reface dx.

I bring it camping all the time.


>Who plays an FM synth on a campfire?

Reface DX owners, mostly, because that's the only modern FM synth with speakers.

I usually use the ePiano patch, which I modify to sound louder; it blends perfectly with the guitar.

>And I don't think it's for jamming with friends with acoustic guitars either

Then you think incorrectly. It's a very versatile instrument, which is for anything that people use it for.

Pigeonholing it as either a home studio or stage instrument is precisely what makes Reface DX such an underrated instrument.
