I use it for 6 months. I needed a piece of his old school RECALLING the early days of techno and the Yamaha had the loops that I had, and it was in my price range. Then over time I became attached, the basic drums are there and do the job, there is a large output jack and MIDI output, the pads are nice and progressive, which is simple and effective. Impec for the component and add sound-effects here and there in one piece. For that I use is nikel!
