Hello

I have therefore this sample pad for a month now, and for now I am quite pleased. Certes this is not a Octopad of Roland, but for the price ..

the 4 pads are dynamic and responsive level has multiple layers, most of the sensitivity of each pad is adjustable.

internal sounds are a little cheap, and 20 samples is a little short to find happiness, but it is also where the sample pad becomes interresting: the possibility of other sample with the SD card (which could be provided, it is not expensive today an SD card ... in short).

only concern, the samples must be mono 16 bit 44mghertz. This is not the most common when you download loops or écahntillons elements. the sudden it takes a little work on PC to edit the samples and put them to good size. (Mod a = 1 minute for example audacity: So fast enough ..)

the overall quality is satisfactory, the hardware seems solid, although plastic.

I think for the price and other materials existing in this price range, they are a good choice that I recommend. The real advantage is the SD card, the disadvantage being that there are only 4 pad, no metronome, and 20 internal sounds a little cheap

I have not tested or MIDI connection, or the TRIGGER input or bass drum .....
