Overall, the features are detailed on product details ...
Too bad it does not catch possde usb edition because of the sample bank is not really practical ...
at twelve o'clock and it's a shame it possde pouyr a channel all parties batteries / stretch / slice
a part in the connection and rather complete and it has a lot of opportunity to mix.

UTILIZATION

Using extremely simple, then a barely need the manual, if not all.
We accsa beacoup functions directly, which therefore makes it more practical to live.
It would certainly have a few more functions, especially in the squenceur, convenient way to edit but it's still a very good machine in this respect.
The most ngatif in my opinion it is the edition of the bank sample, SmartMedia card, trs not big (128 MB max) is slow and inconvenient, especially to remove sample already on the esx, which was not much room.

SOUNDS

J'hsite has put a note trs good medium here ... the sounds of factory ... zero, on the whole, whatever the style of music, drum samples, apart from a few all look the same, the instrument is horrible and loops are just funny ...
Personally I almost completely empty (which is also extremenent tedious, about 30 seconds to remove a sample ..)
on the other hand, once you get the samples adquate, it turns out the really, really adds lights to the power and heat to sound and about the results we get really nice.

OVERALL OPINION

I did not last very long (about a month) but I really starting to fully exploit its potential.
Compose a rhythm is really enjoyable it (tell me I was on computer before so good) and it is really niquel to live.
It is on it is less complete than a good mpc but I'm wondering if it wins against cot sound quality, I Whereas therefore the ratio price quality rather good.
Use it alone, I think that live has become a bit poor, personally, I use it with an ea, sometimes synth mode sometimes in squenceur mode for Reason, and with these two machines over a lil computer was already pretty huge opportunities.
Until then I'm rather satisfied with my purchase ...
