The features have been mentioned over and over again, so I see no need to go through them again.

Pros: Super groovy sequencer, separate outs.

Cons: No effects (but then again...)

USE

It couldn't be easier to use, except for some functions that require you to press five buttons at the same time.

Other than that, it's a real treat to write music, edit sounds and play live!!

SOUND

The sounds are nothing new, but wow!!!!

Realistic is not the right term, but they are perfect for electronic music. (a real kick, a real snare, real cymbals, nothing plasticky!!).

This drum machine had incredible dynamics and a very airy sound, which gives it an irreplaceable presence within a mix.

I tried to find a replacement for quite a long time, but it was a waste of time, it's simple incomparable (even with alleged replicas).

OVERALL OPINION

I just got it and spent the entire weekend with it.

What I like best about it are its sound and editing.
What I like least are the advanced functions, which aren't easy to find (like copying a pattern).

I tried lots of models before realizing it is impossible to replace it!!!

Its a good value for money, considering what it does.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. If I had the money, I would actually buy a second one.
