it's properly semi-modular.Ah, understood and fair enough, can understand your "not semi-modular" reasoning. Or in Zebra, where you can have up to 4 regular oscillators, 4 FM operators, 2 noise sources, 4 regular filters, 2 XMFs (Xpander-like stereo filters), 4 combs, and some non-linear processing modules, and you can route it all in a ton of different ways. But it's not what I'd call properly semi-modular, for example as in Massive X where you can decide from which point in signal path you want to take something to FM modulate wavetables, or from which point you want to feed back into the signal chain. Which is fine, it's simple and can do a decent amount of things.

Vital's routing is quite similar to Hive's, you have two filters and in each filter you toggle which things are routed to them. In Zebra's grid, for example, you can route things however you want pretty much. The Echo Show 15’s appeal is more limited than any other Echo model, but it offers features that no other Echo-or any other smart display-can match.I didn't mean modulation matrix, but the modules themselves. The widgets probably wouldn’t work on a display that was any smaller. So, why am I awarding the Echo Show 15 four stars in this review? It’s the ideal Echo for people who want an Echo that consumes zero counter space, and the new Alexa widgets make this smart display a fabulous family hub. I’m also surprised that Amazon left out a Zigbee radio, and that it outfitted this high-end smart display with such a low-res camera: 5 megapixels compared to the 13MP image sensor in the same-priced Echo Show 10 (3 rd Gen). Yes, you can buy an accessory to use it on a table or countertop-and the under-cabinet mount is a great option if you’re installing it in a larger kitchen-but those accessories add to its cost, and an Echo Show 15 on a countertop will consume a lot of real estate–at least in landscape mode. The Echo Show 15’s large size allowed Amazon to evolve and enhance the Alexa user interface, but the need to mount the smart display on the wall will make it a nonstarter for some. The controls we’ve come to expect from Echo displays (left to right): Privacy shutter for the camera, mute button for the mic array, volume up, and volume down.

Alexa Guard Plus, the paid version of the service that costs $4.99 per month or $49 per year (included in the price of a Ring Protect Pro plan), adds a hands-free emergency help line, listens for other sounds inside the home while you’re away (such as footsteps or a door closing) and can deter unwanted visitors by playing the sound of dogs barking or sounding a siren. The Echo Show 15 is compatible with Amazon’s Alexa Guard service, which means its microphones can listen for the sound of breaking glass and smoke and CO alarms, and it can randomize your smart lighting to make it look like someone is home while everyone is away.

While Wi-Fi smart home devices are increasingly coming with integrated Wi-Fi adapters, small, low-power, battery-powered devices such as motion and door/window sensors almost always communicate over Zigbee or Z-Wave because Wi-Fi consumes too much electrical power. That doesn’t mean it can’t control your smart home devices, but you will need some other hub to act as a bridge unless all those devices either connect directly to your Wi-Fi network or have a Wi-Fi bridge of their own. Unlike all the higher-end Echo models preceding it-the 4 th-gen Echo, Echo Plus, Echo Studio, and the 2 nd– and 3 rd gen Echo Show 1 0-the Echo Show 15 doesn’t have a Zigbee smart home hub. Michael Brown / IDG No Zigbee smart home hub The cavity on the back of the Echo Show 15 isn’t deep enough to hide its AC adapter if you’re lucky enough to have an outlet right behind where you want to wall-mount it.

The display on the next-largest Echo Show, the Echo Show 10 (3 rd Gen), measures 10.1 inches and offers a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, thereby delivering 2,395 more pixels per square inch. Amazon spreads 1920 x 1080 pixels over a 15.6-inch screen that has a relatively poor off-axis viewing characteristic, so you might be disappointed by how soft your photos look in full-screen mode.

The Echo Show 15 has the highest resolution of any Echo display, but it’s not based on a particularly high-end LCD panel. But that doesn’t change the fact that Amazon has broken a pattern of making the latest high-end Echo the best Echo. There’s a lot to like about this latest iteration of Amazon’s smart display, starting with the 15.6-inch LCD panel that allows the Echo Show user interface to evolve from those of previous-and smaller-Echo Show devices.
