The presets that it comes loaded with are pretty naff, - they don't really do it justice - but they give you the idea. It may not be the most sophisticated sampler in terms of deep editing functions, but as I say, for the situation it's aimed at - which is live triggering along with a conventional drum set up, I think it's really well thought out. I should say that the sample management software is really easy to use (this enables you to collect sounds and kits on the computer and transfer them across). It's also easy to program, so in rehearsals it's proving very quick to tweak everything as we build up tracks. I'm referring to stuff like the 'all sounds off' button and the ability to audition sounds without feeding them out to the audience. I think the thing to appreciate here is just how well it's designed for live work. We're using this to trigger samples and vocal loops in a band playing dub style rock.
