Take some time to learn it.
Or you won't have a clue what's happening. Once that is done, it really is a fun little sound machine.
Cool Drum machine
This delivered on everything it promised. It could be considered a toy and it has very limited I/O but it intuitive, creative and fun which can't be said for many pieces of drum tech.
great little addition for an beat maker
It's hard to be negative about this product, it might not have the best sounds, or be laden with features but look at the price! Like many of the Teenage Engineering products it has an undeniable fun factor!
Lots of fun
Easy to use.
Good sounds and effects.
My first drum machine, so nothing to compare it to, but finding it good fun to use.
Great little machine!
For the price this kicks ass! The sound is crisp and fat, the workflow is really intuitive and easy to get your head around. It syncs with other gear via mini-jack. For the price I can't think of any other device with so much capabilities, the portability and immediacy. Highly recommend!
