Already described (see other reviews)
I should add that the memory of the bike is quite limited:
- 200 programmable patterns (+ 200 preset)
- 5000 marks maximum
- Maximum 20 pieces
UTILIZATION
Leaning a bit on the manual, getting started is quick. The large number of keys makes the little beast easily controlled.
There is ultimately a lot of features, but I do not use them all.
The possibility to connect his guitar to record a line of instrument is not top, the restitition is too uncertain, it makes this feature unusable. Too bad. In fact, for programming lines of instruments, it seems necessary to have a MIDI keyboard.
The manual is clear and precise, nothing to say on it.
Note the existence of software, "DR-5 edit" (light version free full version fee), which can tweak its settings from a PC connected by noon (always more convenient) and make a backup of recorded data.
SOUNDS
I find the rhythmic sounds very good, and numerous. I use almost the kit "Rock" is one that most closely matches what I want. You can create your own kit by selecting a sound of interest.
To the sounds of instruments, it depends, some sound a bit "artificial", others are more credible ... but personally I never use them.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a year. I am very happy because it is small, easy to use and slamming sounds good. The black spot remains for me the memory is too low: at present I have a dozen songs programmed and I still have 53% of the memory allocated to the patterns ... it goes very quickly, especially when using instruments tracks! (Not me)
If it again, then I would choose a bar with more memory.
I bought used in 100 euros so the price / quality ratio seems to me still very good.
