I will not return to the technical specifications dj evokes.
The strengths highlighted with dj, I'll rather tell you about the little things that leave DSIR (yes, I find ;-)

Section rverbe really trs cheap, it sounds trsmtallique, cold and is assignable to the entire kit, c - d that when the RULES for the SPECIFICATIONS, it should forcment not another type of son.Cependant, I do not keep him in rigor, as most of the BAR of this type have no effect at all and spares with 6 outputs, y 'a way to do it!

The squenceur TR is so easy to use, but personally, the "swing" is not intuitive, although relatively forcment interresting because not assignable to each individual, and you will not find the groove of the MPC! !
And a little more would not t not luxury, not a 32 because when you turn pattern 180 bpm is not much.
Note even if it is possible to run multiple loop pattern.
The single player mode is also default, that's a shame.

UTILIZATION

The use is very intuitive, the manual is just know abrgs The definition of terms for the rest it's going to rev quickly ... This tight deadlines that I d still covers! (I've had one month).
Everything is simple, even the midi and audio configuration of the machine that can s'avrer consuming on some machines. In addition it offers 6 memory slots for 6 DIFFERENT config diffrent, cgnial! No need to change everything when you take him to a friend or to move from studio to live act!
For each kit, you can set the equalizer and the compressor, but I find that the compressor is not my taste forcment indipensable and not very intuitive unless you have a good grounding in DJ techniques sound.

SOUNDS

Personally, this machine is made for the electro ... hardtek or no middle ground! For the electro because you can go far in the creation of sounds, and the hardtek because this machine is really double trs e out enormous bass, korg in the closet and sisters ...
Being given that its sounds are very synthetic, it is my opinion not for the music samples as the basis of hip-hop or drum'n'bass, more importantly I think the snare drum sounds really miss the dynamic, they smack too.
That said, complment an MPC, you reach the peak of the rhythmic crtion!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month, having had a very APRS-707, a Korg ER-1 and MPC 2000XL.
At the possibility of inception, it is incomparable, and the live is really the machine possder because you can change any time absloument rels, unlike the MPC.
If I had to buy it back, I would do without hsiter, despite its price a little high ...
Are strong point of his original sound, I think is also its weak point, because this machine is a need to know bte imptueuse tame!
