MBM's poor. This small sampling of Groove Box is a gem. 8 voice polyphony. Sample RAM and SmartMedia (max: 128MB). 16 pads. Pattern sequencer 4 tracks. A multi-effects (26 effects) of high quality. Sampling Function (analog and digital), re-sampling. CHOP (a bit like Recycle) and pitch (which displays on the little keyboard transposed the sample you just picked). And then there BMP sync. From TimeStrecht in real time. Really transparent if it does not exceed the reasonable

UTILIZATION

Publishing is a biblical simplicity. And for good reason, the functions are few but well chosen. Getting started is easy. The manual is clear although not essential as easily tamed the beast

SOUNDS

As noted above, the converters are transparent. No artifact is the ROLAND. The multi effect is of good quality (pity there have one). Few parameters (3 per item) which allows real time thanks to the 3 knobs

OVERALL OPINION

I had an MPC2000, an SP-808; gas plants. Then this little Bécanne-looking toy Mattel. Clearly for me, there's no picture. I keep my SP505. With SmartMedia nothing easier than to concoct loops of the devil on the PC and then transfer them in less time than it takes to tell. The price / quality ratio is also excellent (around 650 euros in May 2002). It's been a month since I use it and nothing works. I can not get enough.
