I bought this synth, took it out of the box, played it a while, and placed it back in the box.
It remained there for over a year.
This synth sucked.
I sold it.

ok...finally bought one of these because I was convinced I could make usuable music with it... I CAN, I guess, but I don't really want to. The sounds aren't that cool (understatement)...alot of gimmicky stuff. I don't make dance music, so I thought I'd be able to get away with the sounds....but they seem to be somebody's idea of dance music cliches...I didn't listen to the pre-sets so I can't comment. I wish somebody would make an all-in-one box with just the basics (basses, pianos, plain drums), no pre-sets, and plenty of effects, filters for f***in the sounds up...samplers are great for this, but when I'm feeling lazy I want a box I can sit in bed with and have a list of sounds to draw from. oh well, I was wrong about this one. good for empty pockets and stoners... you can make ok music on it with a little imagination, but once you've tasted better equipment, it IS a step backwards.

I like this box. I like the grooves I can come up with. The only thing I don't like is that there is not much room for user patterns. If I can explain it right...I like to write patterns that very with every bar more so in the drums. Granted I've got 32 open bars per user pattern and 300 variation pattern banks. However, I can't just write a 4 bar pattern that loops itself. I need breaks in the pattern. I wish that one of the 32 measures per user bank was considered a pattern all by itself with 1599 patterns left to mess with. (32 bars x 50 user patterns would give you 1600 open patterns). I wish I had a lot more freedom, I wish I was a baller, I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I had a rabbit in a hat and a '64 Impala. Whatever? Anyone got a Akai S20 sampler for sale?

uhm this is a "noise box" as i would put it.. nothing really grooving about it.. first piece of equipment ive bought.. and have out grown it within 2 weeks.. if hooked to a computer or a sampler the noises could be cut up and made into something but thats it.. horrible pattern making... for basic beginners
