See manufacturer website or refer to previous reviews.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple enough for a regular kind of BAR, one or two weeks will be necessary for a novice to discover everything. Once mastered, the usage is almost instinctive. The manual fits on an A4 sheet (in German, but available in English, see forum).
Editing sounds is really easy (with knobs), but they are a bit small and some people need some time to get a little grease.

SOUNDS

BAR perfect for electro, hip hop, soft rock.
The sounds are realistic (I'm a fan of the snare in particular the bass drum rich sub bass and conga), the cowbell and cymbal are not the forte of this machine, but it's still tinkering usable output.
No effects.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 days, I tried several software and never be satisfied. Like its small size and its small power supply (like a laptop charger). The price / quality ratio is really excellent for a product like this, some seem to have had problems of stability in terms of MIDI or concerns of buzz or even breath, but the ransom needed to take advantage of this excellent machine.

I would do this choice with your eyes closed.
