My favorite sequencer, the system parameter lock is used with an unprecedented speed, 24 editable parameters for the 16 tracks, more effects.

The only fault I have to say is that I regret a little limiting the number of parameter lock. Y'en when m ^ me enough, but sometimes you have to have to juggle, I prefer it provides much broader.
We can not put the lock on the impact parameter but just send the functions of each track.
I would have liked more compressors for all the m ^ me sometimes it's not great. But hey there's always six outputs that can route all of this externally.

Stereo samples would not have been refused.

UTILIZATION

Editing sounds is very simple, but the possibilities so vast that you really have time to get used to, and away from the original sounds into something personal.

The manual is fine as long as they speak English

I would not put ten because some bugs remain, and can be quite fatal live.

SOUNDS

The sounds are perfect for my styles, industrial breakcore idm, I use mainly for the samples have more snares, and small voice samples crushed in all directions.
The kicks are excellent, the dynamics are impressive, really slap snares, the parameters of each machine are particularly well chosen. We can live and evolve sounds like any other drum machine.

Synthetic sounds once spent in mastering the section can have a realistic side Surprisingly, the delay and reverb on the compressor are very good. The eq on the other hand it is not very accurate.

It allows you to leave the rhythmic sounds to sounds really twisted.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a year and a half. The first month I really wondered how I would integrate it into my set, and by dint of thought and research, I can not do without it and part with it.
His sound is based very digital but the variety of parameters can be really original. Quality is at the appointment, the converters are part of what is the best.
I do not consider it independently in my productions, but who loves me enough cold rhythms associated with synths warm enough I am delighted.
Live this machine is amazing, I served as master and returns the entries in synths and increase the salaries of synths, I can control a good part of my set by not touching it. There's the shortcuts in all directions, with the training is varied patterns of two measures for five minutes without ever repeating itself.

Its value for money is justified in my opinion, since it is not manufactured in China even more expensive than most I know of no equivalent.
I would do without hesitation that choice, except if I will builds on my pc interface for ultimate automation but it is not encroe win.
