Pretty standard features, 16 pads, 4 faders, 8 nobs. One thing I do like about it especially is that it has a hardware button to trigger full velocity hits. Some other hardware ive worked with requires you to set that up through the software if possible, it is very usefull to have it directly on the controller.

Price paid

$200.00

Very easy to and setup, took me less then 5 minutes to get it up and running with Reason. While I found it easy to setup though it becomes a bit more complicated to specifically manipulate it how you would like. I personally perfer click to assign variables, but this requires you to use special software that comes with it. Overall though it is still fairly easy to work with.

It seems to be built well, the faders seem as though they wouldnt be able to take very much pressure from the sides, but other then that everything seems secure. if I were to drop it, I would expect it to still work and suffer little damage.

This is rather tough to grade. It definately helps in producing drum tracks, and it is fun to play around with. It's a lot better then tapping on a desk.
