Value For Money :
Excellent
Everything is already said.
Editing with a PC (for those who) is a definite plus. But it is more than enough on its own.
UTILIZATION
A big point by opening the box: Manual.
In French in the text, it is very educational, gives examples, a good tutorial for starter before going into the details of each part of the beast.
It is so well done that has almost pleased to open a random page that gives us a new idea, we return to another detail, etc ...
The only downside, he sometimes referred to page numbers ... are not good or do not exist!
All this is not to say that the machine is difficult to access. It is well thought out, even intuitive, you just look at it. Otherwise would not have as much power and opportunity.
SOUNDS
There are a multitude of different sounds, which are configurable entierrement: In other words, the possibilities are endless.
The card will help me personally to add loops or vocal samples (although there is as well).
The effects are quite numerous (47) but some useful for me. Their quality is average, not bad.
The motorized faders are useful though fragile (they seem anyway).
The pads are nickel, although not velocity sensitive.
Using much the Redrum in Reason, I much prefer this arrangement of pads linear rather than "square" of Akai, because it allows you to place sounds on the timeline much more user friendly. In addition they light up the rhythm of the pattern.
For my part, I made the Deep / Hard House and I board found are round and fat as I like, contrary to what I feared watching the demos on YouTube and there are mostly clips of Trance .. .
OVERALL OPINION
I ais I board for 1 week and already made a very nice loop.
It will go almost as fast as with a computer over time, except that with this machine the perfect size, no need to bother in the living room with MIDI devices and a multitude of son, and it is incidentally more stable than the software for reliability on stage. Everything is within reach (even one) hand.
I love the linear pads to place sounds. Arpeggiator functions and agreements make the job easier and more efficient, especially for the pure musician I'm not.
I had an MPC 1000 as I board sold: sampler only, no editing sounds, nazzzz, all that Roland is not ...
The value for money is good, even if everything is plastic now, but it is only better for the weight (it is light enough). By the way, we can not use the faders like a mixer, you have to go under penalty molo ... to be in pain.
I am finally happy with my machine, especially after the bad experience with the MPC. It is complete, easy to use, sounds are good, and of grouping in the studio or on stage are enormous.
