Should be noted: no kits, you make one kit has 49 sounds.

A single measure for patterns, but you can set the number of steps.

UTILIZATION

To copy the pattern is not intuitive: you must choose the destination and after the pattern you want to copy. I deleted some very good patterns trying to reverse, aprais I learned how.

That is very easy to use.

Sauvegardage by the audio track is quite fast (1 minute 14 seconds for all the patterns and the kit), and works well with a digital recorder.

SOUNDS

Percussion sounds excellent, but not its type starchime / bell tree. ("/> (" />

Acoustic drum sounds: as good as some toms and bass drums are also used for electronic music.

TR-808 sounds: the sounds except claves, congas and cymbals, but these sounds are similar to sidestick, analog toms and hi-hat open, and it may be possible to simulate with editing.

TR-909 sounds: bass drum and snare drum.

Other electronic sounds: hi q and scratch.

I saw the beast described on pages in English as a drum machine industry, but if you do not use external effects it There's very few industrial sounds.

If a use you distort the sounds of sound is 808 nickel. It is also interesting in the sounds of percussion.

Editing sounds is not great: you can adjust the high, There are seven non-adjustable filters (tone color), but it's pretty ho hum, you can adjust the decay, but did not great thing about all the sounds.

The problem is not the quality of sound, rather that there's no n-if a lot of sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

I use a few months.

If you want a hundred electronic sounds, functions as kits and roll is not for you. That is a very nice little boiboite.

This choice I would do again if it's cheap. 100 Euros is a bit too.
