It’s amazing. So inspiring to use and yet so deep I keep changing my mind about what I’m doing! I buy and sell lots of stuff but this will stay for good

First unit had a faulty headphone socket, so best to check this out as soon as you get one. However, once I got a replacement unit, this really lives up to the hype. I'm addicted to it! I've had it less than a week and I cannot spend enough time on it. YouTube is a great source of info for getting started. The depth of capability for such a portable unit is incredible and the graphics screen is really engaging. I'm only just starting with music production and the tactile, hands on feel of this unit and the ease at which you can start creating, is great for me. I wanted something that was portable and this is like a studio in your back pack!

This is a terrifying little box - it's so powerful. So far I've barely had time to switch it on, but each time I have, I've been blown away by what it can do. For a beginner like me it's a brilliant way to get into synthesis / sequencing / sampling.
