Loop station whose characteristics are easily found. I'll spend as much time to write my opinion that the "engineers" of Roland have to design this m ....

UTILIZATION

A gas plant, but poorly thought.
One example: a pedal to set the tempo, plus a "tap tempo" button, plus a knob. Why three physical thing when one (pedal) would have been enough (coupled with the wheel used anyway for other things).

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is correct (and it is the only thing that is).

OVERALL OPINION

I spent hours with the manual. I do a trick that works, and then, without any intervention on my part, the trick no longer works.
The loop will loop properly, unmanageable latency appears randomly when loop ...

To further give only one example (and there are many others), when trying to update meant to address the well-known problem of dead time between the last and the first time a loop , the instructions are so clear that a seller does not include Roland.
And when he put "press" ENTER "then there is no button" enter "on this machine, it gives an idea of ​​the professionalism of this box that is selling products not finished everything.

Another joke of this firm incapable: updates are proposed. Well.
Here is part of the way forward on the Roland website:

First, you need to know which version is currently in the machine.
Here's what the website says:

- Set the [rhythm OUTPUT LEVEL] knob to the the minimum. ---> There is no button "RHYTHM OUTPUT LEVEL" on this machine. Should probably include "GUIDE LEVEL"

- Set the [track 1] slider and the [track 2] slider to the minimum. ---> This is no "slider" but knob (button)

- Hold down the [down] button and the [rhythm ON / OFF] button, and connect a plug to the OUTPUT L / MONO jack. Then It Will turn on. ---> There is no "down" button or "UP". It should probably understand the arrows> and <, and also no button "rhythm on / off", again you have perhaps translated as "Guide Start / Stop". These two buttons are far away, so you are requested to ask a friend that assists you, because with your one hand is more need impossible.D'autant simultaneously introduce Jack in the "OUTPUT L / MONO jack", which of course does not exist. there is an OUTPUT SUB and MAIN OUTPUT, and have a whole two RIGHT MONO JACK (not a LEFT).

And, of course, all that does not work, and you wonder where you screwed up.

Makes you wonder if the guy who wrote it worked well with Roland, or if he wrote it for JAMMAN DIGITECH !!!

The general foutage of mouth.
