Connectors: audio input (which can be treated), a headphone output, stereo output, trio noon.
The original sounds are very stereotypical, I collect them all. It's a sampler, so it depends sounds you put into.
The Smart Media card transfer makes editing easy on computer.
The effects range from conventional treatments to stuff more Zarb (sometimes found by grinding sounds interesting).
Type drum sequencer, it scrolls to four measures in a loop and place it sounds on a timely manner.

UTILIZATION

Everything is very simple, there's really no complaints in this regard. We can play with very quickly without taking the lead.

SOUNDS

I use it not really a specific style, although it is true that s'adpate rather well with electronic music.
Initially, I treated like a conventional sampler filled up the loop, but the memory is quickly saturated. Since I resigned myself to treat it as a drum machine emulation and this change of approach allowed me to reconsider.
So now she is fed samples of old drum machines and analog I am happy (I can carry around with me a couple of drum machines of quite different styles).
In this regard: http://samples.kb6.de/downloads.php
The term is not his strong point, there are many mode "Accent" but it works in general and not on each sound separately. That said, it can give funny results.
The effects are more or less convincing: it is not of great quality, but it can give a nice touch if not abused. The delay is also very general intéssant in the tampering can be the swing pattern.
Each sound can be edited separately (volume, balance, pitch, filter) but I must admit that I use often in this section I found a little gadget: I try to keep the original sample as I select them for their patch base.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a little over a year.
It is a small machine that can render loyal service.
We must renounce the use alone, it is not really suited for it (although ... I had fun doing some titles exclusively with it on a 4-track, that is: http://www .myspace.com / baxterkiller)
However, in combination with other instruments, it is quite possible to fit in and help create the most basic rhythm as the most ridiculous very quickly.
What I like:
- Ease of use.
- The overall delay.
- The ability to process an external source (eg synth from the gate not to sync bass lines)

What I like least:
- One effect section with pattern.
- The shuffle not very persuasive.
- The limit of the pattern in four steps.

This is my first and only groovebox, even if those apps offer more powerful stuff in the same genre, I like it for its live aspect and the opportunities it gives to jam (great fun for two with a synth side).
