I've had my djx for almost 2 years now and i still have it incorporated into my setup. It is limiting yes, but once i figured out how to save "patches" so to speak, i was a much happier user. As a previous review stated, yes it does help bring out the creative person in you b/c it is limiting but youcan still explore a lot and do odd things to it. Take that and run it through external effects and presto! While you asve up for that nice nord or maybe something bigger and better, buy on e of these to hold you over, ive made some amazing stuff with it
Its not wonderful but for as cheap as you can get em...they beat the heck out of anything else in its field...meaing screw radio shack and casio (unless its a cz) annd buy this thing!

As a more experienced synthesist and musician, and 2 years older than i was when i wrote my first reviews for the djx, i've learned alot. I had one when it first came out, and whether i knew it or not, my best ideas came from and took shape on the DJX. Since then, ive gone thru every VA or ROMpler there is, and my creativity lacks. I sometimes wonder if many many GREAT synths can spoil your creativity, because it did for me. I just bought a DJX again for $189...I dont remember getting that good a deal on a board ever...All i know is that I've had more bangin tunrd, and far better ideas from a single DJX and a few softsynths, than the setup i had a year ago consisting of a Virus, An1x, XP-30, Audity 2k..etc...True, it may lack the *originality* VA's and editable synths have..but lemme tell you..its way cooler to hear an awesome track on a DJX, than to hear an average track on an An1x and a Virus..Hell..i bet the wooden cheeks on the Virus COST $189 ; )

This machine is pure joy. It's limited and it has it's drawbacks but for the price, the DJX can't be beat. It's the toy for the pro and the wannabe's masterpeice. It's literally amazing that such a machine can exist for such a price. If you're looking for the coolest toy, or the cheapest unit that will do you any good this is the one for you. I do believe that a four man band, armed simply with DJX's could produce the coolest sounds possible.
