Not an incredible amount of features. and the few it does have arent very easy to get to. its only got MIDI in, no out or thru. audio out left and right. pretty basic.

Price paid

$100

UTILIZATION

Id give it a higher score for usability if i could figure out how to turn the touch sensitivity off. hitting the pads at the same velocity twice in a row is a real pain in the butt. the step sequencer is good but its easy to mess up. luckily its easy to fix as well. the tempo choosing button is just weird. arranging songs is simple but takes some planning. I just use my computer for sequencing it which gets rid of that nasty velocity problem.

its ok, but i would find something else to gig with. the audio out is touchy (bad sauldering i hear) Power chord is easily knocked out and the buttons are tough but like i said not easy to hit the same twice.

SOUNDS

Overall the sound quality is ok for what it is. its got some really good live drum kits, but honestly i only use a couple of them. the hats are generally way to loud. the techno and hip-hop kits are ok, but i could see them getting old quite fast. the bass sounds tho are spot on. i cant stress enough how cool the bass is on this. very poppy and realistic or smooth and synthy. you cant do much tweaking tho so there is that. you can use 3 kits and a bass program at once.

OVERALL OPINION

I like it ok, and if it were lost id miss it, but i would get something with sampling next time. maybe if it were cheap id pick up another.
