fairly realistic drum sounds if you are looking for that.. one major complaint

is that the open hihat doesnt close when you play a closed highhat.. it just

keeps going.. but overall, if you can get one for $200 or less, get it, its well worth it.

Extreme tuning, Resonant filters, layering of sounds,

envelope control, Ring Modulation, all make it very powerful.

It is the best drum module around. Even better than an RM-50.

(The RM-50 has a powerful midi implementation but the sounds

are terrible and lifeless) I only wish it had a better panning control. The output patch

section is too confusing. If you want synthetic sounds get the XD-5. If you want acoustic sounds

get an alesis D-4 (not the DM-5).
