Is it the greatest thing ever made? No. Will it blow away a VA synth or Akai sampler? hell no! Is it a great beginner piece or a fun addition to a setup? Hell YES!
Don't be a snob, don't be an idiot and state the obvious. Of course it's not "proper" gear. But it also doesn't have the accompanying price tag of "proper" gear. So if you're a youth with limited funds or just plain poor, here's what you get for about $250 now: 61note Keyboard/realtime ribbon controller and realtime knobs that transmit controller commands for recording into sequencer, controlling software, etc/3 songbanks with 6 tracks each/8bit mono sampler with over 6 seconds sampling time for sampling drum hits,etc to 12 memor sections/basic fx/good stock sounds/stereo speakers/32 note polyphony-16 multitimbrality.
You could still use it as a controller and xtra sound module after you got tired of it.

This unit kicks ass as a D & B unit. That's all I use it for --DRUM & BASS track and to trigger other tracks from two Alesis MMT-8's (which I love dearly). I've been using it as such for over 2 months. It is way cooler than alot of other much more expensive gear that I have. With these 3 units I can do almost anything. Oh yea--I do have a nice sampler ---Old Akai SO-1 that I got pretty cheap. I love cheap stuff that blows away the big expensive rigs. And this is it baby--If you're not a millionaire and you want to have fun, think DJX + Alesis MMT-8 + cheap sampler and you'll be amazed at what you can do. Fuck the snobs who say it's a toy--they probably have a hard time making good music with their studios full of expensive shit. Talent is everything ---not being able to buy the latest fucking craze device that costs $$$$---its all about the player---cheap stuff rules!! I'll say it again--CHEAP STUFF RULES!!!!!!

Hey guy's I've been reading the reveiws on this thing and I'm gonna put in my 2 Cents worth from using it. This thing is great, if you need good sounds from the preset, or if you want samples you can do it. This machine was not created to everything for you, I mean come on people. Where is your creativity ( for those of you who bash good gear) Just Beacuse is does'nt have the (Groove Approval) on it you think it's Wack. Giveme a break, if thats the case you'll fall for anything wiht a name on it!!!!!!!!!!!
Real musicians use sounds and incorporate them in the mix of Production.... LESSON NUMBER ONE !!!!
I'M OUT CLONES !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats where you are wrong,we played with a DJX for a week in our studio just to see what all the fuss was about.I cannot believe people actually think this thing is a serious piece of gear.And no we didnt buy it we just borrowed it from a fellow producers 14 year old brother. When you eventually get around to using a proper synth you will see what an ass you are making of yourself claiming this thing is good.

You are needlessly lowering the score by rating it a 1 even though you probably haven't even played it.
HELLO - THE DJX COSTS 299$ NEW AND CAME WITH SOME [CRAP] HEADPHONES AND POWERSUPPLY AND SUSTAIN PEDAL.
299$. 299$. Am I making myself clear? No, it doesn't compare with the latest and greatest 3000$ analog synth, but it's also 2300$ less expensive.
I can't believe people like you. You are like the idiot that talks loudly about what a piece of crap the Camaro Z28 is compared to a Lamborghini Diablo. HELLO - PRICE _IS_ A CONSIDERATION.
