It’s really good but it’s also really basic and as such it looses a star because it shouldn’t be as expensive as it is. Pros: it’s a very expressive midi controller and instrument in its own right, you can load your own sounds (slowly) and it’s light and portable. Cons: it’s plastic and apart from the pad itself it feels kinda cheap which it most certainly isn’t lol. It’s defo feels like an instrument of yesteryear with the dated operating system and old school display etc. No regrets on buying it tho, even if it did sting my wallet more than it should have imo and it’s defo ripe for an updated version now I think. If it had MPE that would be amazing.

Buy this now! Before buying the Handsonic HPD-20 I've made the mistake to get a Korg wavedrum and an electric cajon. Nothing compares to the Handsonic. The quality of sound, the range of instruments and the 13pads set this instrument above the rest. There are many reviews on youtube, however, there is nothing to compare you for how much fun this little thing is! Hours and hours of entairtainment, from am inmstrument that it certainly not a party gimik, as I found the wavedrum and the electronic cajon to be. You can crank up the sound as much as you like without compromising sound quality. Personally, though I enjoy the drum kits, I've absolutely loved the melodic instruments as they transform this perussion pad to a synth! Finally, the Handsonic can be made fully portable. By using strong magnets, I've attached a Power Bank and a Portable Speaker undernath, which made the instrument completely self-sufficient. You wont go wrong with this one.
