Ive read a bunch of reviews already downing this little board and calling it a toy. NOT TRUE!I own a circuit bent djx1 with a patch bay feature and stereo outputs and it kicks major @ss! I dont use it for techno or hip hop crap I use it for industrial music and it works great! people say the sampler is crap and its to short, but these are the people using a microphone that probably came from radio shack. To make use of the sampler ,I sample synth sample from logic and reason on my computer and send it through my SB Audigy card straight to the djx and it works great.If your handy crafting your own cables,you may try samples off a portable CD player wich is cool also.but most important dont limit yourself to sampling with just a microphone and inaudible slurs.I also use my djx1 as one of my synth and computer controlers.Its true that you cant save patches on the djx wich really sucks,But if you want to enhance your tweaking options I recommend trying a BOSS pitch shifter or a Digitech bass envelope filter pedal wich can be found at any guitar center.I paid 550.00 for my circuit bent djx and I wouldnt sell or trade it for anything!Bottom line,if you want true hip hop or techno samples,buy some acid loops.If you want to tweak and make some cool original sounds buy it and bend it!! DONT BE AFRAID TO TRY AFFECT PEDALS!!!!!!

I just HAD to post another comment. I just brought out the DJX again..... And....used it to control a Novation Superbass station..and a Novation A Station....playing through a marshall Amp.. And wow.....the SOUNDS.... This is not only a great, awesome keyboard...it is a great controller too.. It handles complex arpeggiators....and it adds its OWN soul!!!!! It encourages creativity...It sounds.... ....it just SOUNDS....and that is all we want from a keyboard don't we? djx djx

This is not jut a keyboard .it is a recording studio in itself. Perfect for a proffessional touch to a newbie.

when this board met is untimely demise,yamaha missed out on an opportunity to capitalize on all the young up and coming producers starting out with little to no cash.

I've long since moved beyond, as far as knowledge of gear and musical skill, since I first aquired this beauty, and when I have some extra cash I'm going to pick another one up AGAIN, just becuase of how inspiring it is and how much fun it is to play. Just the sequencer alone is worth it's weight in gold, and the sampler? Please show me where you can get something so versatile that ALSO SOUNDS THIS GREAT for ONLY $100 used (highway robbery), come on, I dare you.
