I was very satisfied with the fetures, a great drummachine. Would like to see a dedecated controller for this as it is a rack. but with all parameters being controllable via midi this is not really a problem when using a good sequencer.
Price paid: £450
UTILIZATION
Very easy to use compared to most equipment these days, and comes with an envitronment for Logic, and mixermap for Cubase. Manual is very easy to understand and nice and small.
SOUNDS
Superb sound quality, Kick, Snare, Clap, Stick, lo and high tom, are all analogue and have, and have all the usual controlls expected of an analogue machine and more, the last three sohnds are all 8 bit samples that can be passed through a 12db per octave high and lo pass analogue filter making for good sound shaping. The samples include a 808 cowbell ride cymbal a cr78 sound 909 hats 808 hats and a couple of jomox samples. The Rack is of good solid Build and is quite heavy it has midi in out and through on the back, 10 outputs and also a L&R out, All outputs are quater inch jacks and give out a pro+4dbu level. Also inluded are two lfos which can be swiched through variose waveforms and routed to many paramiters of the sounds, such as the cutoff on the hats ore the tune on the kick or toms. There is plenty of RAM on board and also a ROM with about 256 preset settings which can be edited or copied to RAM when creating your own settings.
OVERALL OPINION
Very Robust only has two dials and a few buttons on the front, have used it allot since i got it about a year and a half ago.
Like this machine allot, definatly a bargain for the price compared to the price of vintage machine of simalir quality. I reckon this machine is a future classic and can blow all the others away for pure quality of sound. will not be selling this
