Works well as a sequencer for other gear too.

It is an excellent sequencer

Fantastic -- I was on the fence a long time about this, but finally decided to dig into the ol' bank

I was able to put a decent piece together after a couple of hours playing with

Great piece of kit, would recommend if you want the portability of a synth and the power of a pc.

Really great creative work station.

Great sampler/production station

Plugging in a midi controller makes it a snap to use your mad skilz on the keyboard (or not, but it's easier for most of us).-it's trivial to take a part you've created and throw it on another part-location to double or create tonal variations-the pads can be velocity sensitive or not -- a very nice option for different use

but it seems like the most holistically powerful option for the money

-depth of playing options-- midi input, step sequencing, trigger style, or pad input 'keyboard,' audio in, even sync jacks-selecting a scale makes staying in key easy when you're making things on the fly-many available

wow, almost speechless, this thing is so much FUNI just received mine today and havent really "gotten into it"

very well designed easy to use synth, menus easy to navigate and find what you need, very good sound, sampling easy to do, perfect for building full length songs by chaining sequences, specially good for working out ideas anywhere (battery powered), a very powerful synth, maybe not as much control as a full featured synth but i have no problem creating any sound i need due to being able to sample from any audio source, i use with a korg ms-20 mini to create pads and beats, also use with a multi effects pedal (zoom ms-70cdr) for nearly infinite control of sound, some have commented on trigger pads not being

For the most part every sample/preset/factory loaded patch (again most) sound amazing, right out of every rap genre, house, and all other "sub genres" of electronic music Ive ever heard.

Third, while the interface is well designed, some things are buried a bit in the menu system.

Also liked the synth version, but I prefer to work with samples

Comes with a free version of the software

Really great creative work station.

Does it support last step per part as is rumored?

When playing sequences I found the pads to be inconsistent

The backlit pads are velocity sensitive and have quick response, but not as good as a Maschine or Launchpad pads, but really nice to hit.

Works great as a scetch pad, but the stock sounds are a bit harsh

Good product.

What a great product

Great product

If not, the product sucks.
