02/11/2008 - when i got it I used it for 5 minutes to work fine and then the thing played nothing but staticsome buzzing a strange beeping and fuzz. Had this for a few months and still find it hard to use,and especially hard to read the display unles at EXACTALLY the right angle.

02/21/2007 - sounds great, very portable, very handy in recording or jamming situations - and man its really got some grooves and alot of times that is inspiration enough to come up with things that you would not think of without a beat, and not just any beat....a good beat makes you wanna play better. its a valuable practice tool as well. i hate the click click of metronomes, so this thing is for me. you can practice your ass off to get your chops going down and pretty much any sane tempo. so yeah, id say its a very good machine. you want some drums for PC recording? a drummer for live jams with your friend? a practice partner that can really keep the tempo/beat? it's in there

12/16/2006 - This was the first drum machine I owned, and while I don't miss the sounds, I do miss that fill button. If you're just looking for a fun, easy to use drum machine, get this one. If you're making "serious" tracks, you'd be better of spending the money for better sounds. It's hard to mix some of these sounds into professional mixes because of the built in cheap effects. I'd rather have dry samples that I can mold, but when I first got this it was used heavily in my one man jam sessions. I ended up selling it along with the rest of my cheapo toys when I decided I wanted to get more into the technical aspects of recording. Even though I may have a much better sound now, I do in a way miss the ability to midi my toys up and beat the crap out of them. Why isn't the professional gear as much fun to play with? Imagine the MPC with a fill button...seriously, I want to design a drum machine just so I can put a fill button on it.

11/09/2006 - this machine is not terribly hard to use. i'm pretty sure alesis originally created this thing to market to non-electronic musician types. if you're used to electronic music, you'll find this easy to use... but maybe sometimes too easy. if you're not used to electronic music, you'll probably find programming a chore until you really get the hang of it.
