«  And to think I almost sold! ... »

Published on 02/01/12 at 19:11
Midi has connections, RCA, TRS, USB;
Also has an EQ and reverb, and extended programming features --- but I use very little - out of laziness.

I bought especially for the "grooves" or "beats" (500 samples) that help me a lot to practice my instrument (keyboard) but introduced me to almost all styles of music.

The high quality of the box = sounds! ... actually sounding like real acoustic drums. In addition, you can choose from forty "kits" battery. In other words, you can hear what sounds on a beat kits rock, jazz, house, techno, r & b, hip-hop, brush, vintage, etc., etc.. Level "sound", I think she has no equivalent among the drum.
The samples contain samples of just about every style of rock, Latin music, and many other styles like hip-hop, jazz and "fusion", etc..

UTILIZATION

Operation is simple, but the programming to create your own beats is not as easy as using a program like Logic or other drum machines, as Jomox - unless it directly records by playing the pads.

SOUNDS

As mentioned above the sounds are very realistic, though mixed and compressed.
For me the point is to use this box in conjunction with other sources rhythm. synchronized noon. Aside from the beats that contain sounds of "charlie", all the sounds I like a lot, compared to the sounds of metal hyper-current machines oriented music "club".

OVERALL OPINION

Apart from the aspect of "programming" that has always put off, I love this machine! She really knows how to highlight the particularity of the rhythmic sounds of each style of beat in it.
I re-would that choice without hesitation.
