Okay, first of all, every single one of you is missing the point. You're going on and on about all this irrelevant shit that doesn't really explain anything to someone reading these reviews trying to decide if the DJX is for them. The simple fact of the matter is this. The DJX is NOT a high-end expensive analogue, or digital synth, it is NOT a high-end expensive sampler, a computer, a sequencer, a drum machine, etc. It is NOT intended for major recording artists to use (even though they could if they want, why the hell not?!) whether the music is Hip-Hop, Techno, Drum 'N Bass, etc. However, it is also not a peice of shit joke that was made for kids playing with G.I. Joe action figures. However, if some kid uses it as a learning aid or toy, great. The DJX was designed to be a cool, inexpensive way to get into making certain styles of music, for people that aren't rich, snobby, fake-ass punk assholes that can afford anything in the world. When you get more money, THEN you can move up slowly, but at least the DJX allows you that option. It was also designed for DJ's (you know, like the name, DJX) to have an all purpose device to maybe add a couple of loops, do effects, and play over their mixes. So, to sum it all up, stop trying to compare the DJX to high-end professional gear, it isn't an S-5000, or an MPC or whatever, because it isn't supposed to be. If you want that, then you buy that. This can be a nice addition to a musician's arsenal if used the way that it was meant to be used. Go try it out, if you like it, then buy it! No one ever said that you use just that to make records with (even though one guy said that he did!). I see that a lot of people are concerned with wannabe's trying to make fake-ass tracks with it, but, then again, wannabe's can make fake-ass tracks with "real" equipment, too. It seems to me that you can get a lot of cool sounds out of it, so why not? Oh yeah, to that guy that was talking shit about American music, I can say a lot of negative stuff about America, too, I'm not waving a flag or anything. But, uh, Techno music started in Detroit. You can dispute that if you want, but it's true. Kraftwerk influenced Techno, they didn't create it. Also, quit arguing and bickering over musical styles, Hip-Hop and Techno are cousins. You can dispute that if you want, too, but it's true. Anyone who says they aren't is ignorant.
