If you want something that has pro sound quality, more sample time, loop slicing, and more features, you could move up to the Electribe Sampler, which seems like a really nice device

I ultimately feel I cannot afford this excellent device and returned it-but for the few days I was able to play with it, it was interesting

He loves the device.

The best way I can describe it is that the Keys is a more "optimistic" device, whereas the Bass is better at is specific stated task.

The housing, while largely plastic, is extremely well-executed, and the device feels like a quality product, even relative to the $160 street price.

If you know how to tweak the knobs to dial in the right sound you're looking for you'll be surprised at how this thing generate that old, fat and funky 70's analog lead sound.. definitely a device worthy to be placed in my collection

The device has a little noise on the output too which this imbalance doesn't help with

Is it accessible to all levels of users and deceptively powerful for a battery powered, affordable device?
