- 【MIDI and Multi-Device Connection Support】Though the USB-MIDI connection, the B1 synth can connect to your DAW and function as a MIDI controller. This easy access allows you to compose music more quickly and flexible to suit all your needs.
- 【Modern Interface with Old School Functionality】The B1 controller features all the deep bass and acid synth sounds in the classic style. In addition, it revives a more intuitive format to provide you with the perfect combination of both the retro and the modern approach.
- 【Multi-Sound Generator for Input and Out Sources】The 1/8” audio signal input enables to connect to multiple audio devices. The 1/4” TS mono main out is for the Master switch, and the 1/8” audio signal out is for the headphone monitoring mode.
- 【Tips】For software downloads, we have compiled an Installation Manual (PDF) document, which is located at the Product guides and documents at the end of the listing. Please ask Donner Online Customer Team (US) through the Product Order Page if you have any questions!

If you are facing issues while using Essential B1, here are some troubleshooting strategies you can follow:
- Q1. My Essential B1 could power on, but not work properly, like only outputting one specific pitch no matter what I do…
- A1. For most of the odd situations caused by software, performing a Factory Reset can solve the problems. To do this, you will need to press and hold the B1, C2, D2 and E2 buttons simultaneously while power up the device. Patterns in the device won’t be effected by the Factory Reset.
- Q2. My Essential B1 could not power on.
- A2. If your Essential B1 could not power on, please:
- Make sure you are using the power supply included in the package.

J'ai travaillé avec des synthés Roland , Moog, Korg, Yamaha ... Grandes marques reconnues, et cette petite machine tient son bout, vraiment .
Il y a toujours le facteur snobisme pour dire le contraire, mais ça c'est une autre question. 😄

This device is very simple, has a fun feature set (mine came loaded with the latest firmware, version 1.1.0 as of this writing) and most importantly, sounds awesome!
Compared to similar sounding devices, which can be a bit intimidating to work with, Donner is to be commended for the clean design and easy operation of this instrument.
If you want to sequence some classic acid bass sounds and want the easiest path to get there, at a bargain price, this is the one. :)

Gusta el sonido aunque hay hay mucha variación en el , en cuanto a secuencia de bajos está muy bien , ya trae sonidos de fábrica y bastantes

I had a Roland TB-3 prior to this, and there were things about the TB-3 interface that were cool, but it was complicated to program actual basslines and melodies, and the touchscreen interface was better at real-time modulation than composition/performance, for me. I like the Donner interface much better.
One downside is there is a faint but audible hiss, instead of dead silence, when this machine is not making music. In a live context it would probably be unnoticeable, but in a studio recording, you would want to gate it or noise-remove it after recording.
