UTILIZATION

A disaster. I wanted to replace my old mpx16 with akai s20 as sampler 'performance' that is, for use in live, playing samples in hand and enjoy the choke functions, loop, one shot etc ... Or these functions are failing, and that's a major problem.
Load times are very long.
Load a sample into a pad is a problem also because the loading is semi automatic. It takes great skill to choose the sample that will load.
The manual is a stew, but there are few functions so that's enough.
Also I can not sampler. Now this is the main function of a sampler right? On mine I'm trying to turn the mollete to select the source: NOTHING, it takes the sound from the built-in mic ...

SOUNDS

It sounds good, and oddly reverb and filter LowPass provided are quite good (better than al MPC1000 anyway).

OVERALL OPINION

Lousy, full of bugs, while the idea was good.
Go your way, do not buy it.
