there enormemment sounds and different styles, but many like ..
after, are very solid surprising for a sampler!
effects are well over 47 effects but there are many twenty useless!


UTILIZATION

It is clear that the mc808 is not very easy to use, but after some days of battle and laminated pages of the manual, you quickly understand how it works.
The most amazing is that even after 2 years are still being discovered functions or tricks! what's it good!
it is certainly not easy! but must also stop being lazy!

SOUNDS

Admit that the sound is not bad for a sampler. Maybe the battery kit is a bit **** ch has long but you can always import with usb cable!
the 16 small pads (which I love) are not velocity sensitive.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for 2 years.
I started music at the machine with mc808.

The +:
if you're a minimum "gifted" you leave something flapping in 2minutes watch in hand. the "r-rec" is pretty nice. motorized faders its super cool! the dial is much better value than small plastic buttons that are "CLAC" when you press on it .. storage of sample by inserting a compact flash card is the TOP. and then I forget ..
le:
motorized faders make noise (when you are in or with the headphone and the need to avoid the noise) is not that great. the d-beam controller is useless. the console is a good 15minutes démmarrer when you have a compact flash card filled enough.

value for money is indisputable!
now I'm on ableton live, so good .. but YES I would do if this election!
