The software is great since it lets you sequence patterns in the computer using a basic piano role and this is a great feature since you can work on an idea in the computer and then disconnected the unit take with you and keep working on an idea away from the computer

A lot of great features

to remedy this what I would do is just to stop the sequencer and load the sample and everything work as normal.overall I would recommend the AR-96 to anyone that makes dance music

The internal sounds are also solid

If you are looking for a standalone groove box with a great sound engine this is it

And this is probably the most beautiful looking instrument there is in a dark space

This instrument is amazing

each pad you can edit your sample or wave form with the following signal path[Sample or Synth Wave]--->[Noise]-->[Effect]-->[Filter]-->[Amp Envelope]->[volume, Pan]->[effects]each section of the signal path can also be modulated with (LFO , Envelops)Is deep but if you use the software you can understand and see how the sound shaping is amazing.the step sequencing is super easy, you enter the notes using the ring and once you have enter a note on a square ring lights up to indicate that a step has been enter, at the same time the LCD shows you the sequencer grid like a drum editor from a computer sequencer

The Zoom ARQ AR-96 is an amazing Groove box!!
