Sure it isn't a Korg Triton, but then it isn't $2000 either now is it? For the money, you really cant beat the DJX, You have a a primitive sequencer, analog knobs (try playing with the 303 lines and the analog knobs...phat!). You have excellent drum kits, a few good synthpads, decent GM, and the ability to use the thing as a music workstation. I plugged my Korg NX5R Synth module into the thing, and *poof* instant professional sound. You have a primitive sampler and several preprogammed patterns to work with to.
Essentially this has many of the features you find in more expensive synths, for 1/10 the price. At this kind of price, you do expect some tradeoffs. Yes it looks like shit, yes 283 voices isnt really that many, yes its only got an 8 track sequencer, yes its only 3 second sampling. But its infintely expandable via synth modules, it has the analog knobs and sounds, good midi and makes a great start for any aspiring techno musician. When you grow out of the DJX's built in sounds and patterns...there are always synth modules. And as one user said, you'll still probably end up using the drum kits.
