ReviewsFeature:
It has a few design flaws:you have to scroll up and down with arrow keys to access song/pattern numbers instead of being able to directly type in the number which wastes time at a gig.The internal memory is not great I could only programme 40 songs(not very complex arrangements either)before I ran out and this was AFTER I had erased all the existing patterns.You cannot assign swing to individual songs either.
Quality:
Seems well put together and relatively robust.
Value:
It is around the same price as the alesis drum machine and is as good as it with the added advantage of bass but internal memory needs to be doubled.
Sound:
The sounds are reasonable in this machine,the drum sounds are better than what the alesis sr-16 has to offer.The bass sounds not as good but effective in a live music situation.
Ease of Use:
Programming does not take too long to get the hang of and is nice to work with especially in real time mode.
Support:
n/a
Overall:
I'm already considering looking for a machine with greater memory capacity, that is the the greatest single drawback with this machine and what makes it unsuitable for live venues where a musician has to be able to draw from a bank of 100+ songs.
