«  The beast »

I add nothing regarding the connection, everything has already been said

UTILIZATION

The first step is to explore the machine, try and try again to do and redo, in short all the machines
Rapidly, its use becomes easier and you get what you want.
It is easier to use a keyboard to program the bass.

SOUNDS

The expression is excellent and sounds are many and varied. Furthermore, the effects are adjustable. Personally I am having a blast programming this machine but even if it's true, I spend the time.

OVERALL OPINION

My message is addressed especially to those people annoyed by the small size of the memory. So yes, it's true it fills quickly the beast. But to give you an idea, I use it live for parties lasting 3 hours, 3.30. I have 4 sets on the bar that I change in 30 s. I use a little the Songs (complete songs from A until Z), but several patterns. I handle everything with the footswitch pedals and once the habit is there, it is all operating. The bias of using patterns lies in the fact that we are both in my training and we want to play Live without the pieces are stuck in time. Thus, our chorus according to mood and atmosphere of the evening can last or not.
This machine is very effective. It's been 3 years since I toured with it, and nobody ever came up to me and said "kesako this is rhythmic bass drums?"
To summarize, if you are looking for a machine drum, try it.
