    Boss SP-505 Groove Sampling WorkstationPublished on 11/09/08 at 15:00
    The capabilities of this unit are awesome! For the sampling musician, I'd consider this a baby MPC2000. The chop function for dividing and truncating samples will take a lot of headaches out of creating for the sampleheads out there.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Returned it within a few days for an EMU MP7, so I guess you could say the marrige was annulled... :-(
