I believe this to be the best sounding drum machine made today, it is fairly simple to program, has the most real sounding drums... it realy looks cool and has large pads...it doenst save very well, seems once saved, the original is there forever... but still one can create patterns you can save in in cubase, magix or samplitude or another recording program once youve done your program to be sure except for future tempo changees could be off and funny sounding...
