In a fawn gnrale the possibility of trvailler avecdes samples is certainly a plus, but not essential. I quelquespatterns trs sympajuste machines with really top gross, and then the possibilities are almost endless for those who can really grind the trick. The synthse out sample is 90% of the machine. Now, if you have no other BCAN to sounds, it is on the nickel sampler is to enrich the atmosphere.
Question samples, I got aCollection, but beware there are only 48 slots and 2.5Mb, and I keep the original set of 1 12 + 2 or 3 tricks. For the rest: Bass Moog and J106n Attack (To the bass can be aussiutilis of Bass Drum local we can make it sound great), the chords (it's a practice), sound acids, and voices.
I just wish the quantization to 1 / 16 see 1 / 32 in X2. The top had a silent quantization to 1 / 64. And also the back imposibilit triplets. Finally a can be adjusted by samples, or the echo of hacking.
The squence is an integral part of sound production, particularly from the use of parameter lock. Certin the pilot uses expander by DAW: It loses the best!

UTILIZATION

The manual is not always trs didactic, but it is enough.
Use BEYOND machine top, trs complte, intuitive, but before you enjoy it (Ctr machine, sample, midi machine) even when it is necessary to spend a good hour. But at the cost of this effort deveint Calt the total. To move forward there is also a good video on youtube, including that of Daswesen.

SOUNDS

It is clear that a machine is electro! From this point of view it is fantastic in pourtaper indict, including eletronica / minimum, all 100% live.
APRs to make good techno / hourse / dance basic no problem either, just as little less.
Trs matali even when it is, but we do not filter it softer.

OVERALL OPINION

I depuis6 months. In the beginners had a little trouble, especially not enough time, but t is pass by I looked for tricks on the net, and I frankly Advanced. Now with three sounds, and a RAM machine, I make sound bombs, deadly! This is the Rolls of the BAR of the moment, with the use of live cot really worked. So I think takes a Monomachine! The instruments look back Elektron trs favorably to produce a fawn. Tired of paramtrage of DAW, a massacre the crativit.
