«  extra simple and effective, and super fun! »

Music purchased from MJ in Saint-Cere, yesterday!

Everything has been said above. Just missing the Midi out. Thus, instead of being master tempo, he is a slave. Okay.

UTILIZATION

Simple? Simpler is Bontempi. I'm pretty useless on all electronic devices moultes capabilities and other functions, but this is disconcerting simplicity, and it is EFFECTIVE!

STEP mode, I saw a kind Fruityloop software and user step-by-step fashion that I do not know, is ultimately very practical, which is composed by long-time (16/16), where we live mode play live!. And of course, you can play live on a spirited rhythm being played.
In short, there's plenty to do, and everything is VERY VERY simple and intuitive.

The knobs to modify sounds are small, very small, but I have big fingers and it does not really have a problem.

SOUNDS

The sounds are very electro-hip-hop. It is a drum to 135 €.
But overall, I think there are way to many things with and find the sound you want.
To summarize, if it is to have drum sounds for jazz or blues / rock is not good at all, if it is fun enough to make electro rhythms, then this is good.
hence my rating 6.

OVERALL OPINION

So I yesterday.
Portability is a real plus, even if the speaker is a bit rotten.
With headphones, it's great.
As mentioned in the previous review, this is the toy that dream to have in the school yard.
I wanted a BAR with me and have a basic rhythm to play the bass / guitar / etc. above. Finally, I find myself playing this BAR, k and only, so it's fun. I would put good 10/10 so I have fun with, but hey, with a little objectivity ... I cut the pear in half, I put 9/10.

And for the price, it should hesitate?
