>So far I find the effects fairly servicable.
>The sequencer is easy to get to grips with.
>Already programmed a few patterns and done some sound edit tweeks
>etc..
>This thing sounds SO much better than my RS7000 (coughs and
>splutters).
>Really FULL sound ,damn nice drum kits in it too.
>LOVE the repeat function in grid mode -too cool.
>Sounds fab recorded to my Yamaha DAW via SPDIF.
>Pads are uber responsive.
>Chucks out ALOT of bass for a sample based unit.
>It was already preloaded (I got it new w/ OS 2.0) :P.
>I may be trading my RS7K for an E6400 Ultra w/full ram etc etc ..
>See how I go the next few days but so far I'm quite impressed.
>Far more musically applicable sound to my ears than Yamaha stuff
>(IMHO of course).
>You can pull some pretty sick rythms out of the unit in next to no
>time.
>Mine has no preset patterns in memory at all :D.
>Which I am actually quite pleased about.
>Nuttin' like customising your box from scratch.
>Looking forward to being part of the group.
>I'm gonna get alot of mileage from this baby.
>The sound blends really well with the ER-1 ,MicroQ and my RedSound
>EleVata.
>It makes my RS7K sound quite amateurish as a sonic comparison.
>Very very slick.
>I like the angle of the face plate and ergonomy of the unit.
>Being a left hander those control knobs are in just the right spot.
>Great quantise and shuffle too .
>Comes damn close to an MPC for feel rythmically.
>All in all very very tasty.
>Got to get me an XL and Vintage Pro Rom real soon ;).
>Cheers.....
