Keith,

All in all, a well-appointed, if not particularly reliable, component, 
at least for a drum module. Something of an industry standard, like 
Roland, since it has few trigger-compatibility issues. It has a 20-bit 
engine, a large inventory of sounds, 16 (mono) inputs, 6 outputs 
(which are great for tailoring live sound), an input like the Yamahas 
and Rolands (for CD etc.), good onboard effects, and, remarkably, a 
PCMCIA memory card slot (8 MB) for importing samples. If you can pick 
one up for a song, it can come in handy. But make sure that it works.
