2678294, the thing is a joke. pick any producer forum...no praise all clownin'

red flag #1 is its celebrity producer endorsement out the gate
2678296, i thought the piece looked kind of ill on the low... for a drum machine

the price is a little outrageous--- but it seems like they got some good sounds in that piece.


so the reviews have been weak?
2678323, I'd buy the software version for my lil brother, or a young cousin

If they were into music like that. I know a guy that says Dallas hasn't made his own beats in years, so I dunno if I trust him and the white guy just walking around, tapping away.
2678330, yeah its been clowned for a couple years now.

the makers of it come on every producer board and promote it like its gonna be the mpc killer and it ends up backfiring on them.

IMO it looks like there are a few things nice about it like the dual sd cards, battery capable.

But I've heard the sequencer is a joke and whats up with only 1 set of midi i/o ports and the worst thing period is the fact it only has one set of outputs..that is toy status in the professional realm of beatmaking.
