I love this little box of fun. It's not pro-quality and isn't advertised as such. It's meant to be fun and it is.
the sounds are decent and for a small band or individual wanting cheap basic live backing or backing for rehearsal it will do just fine.
I use it for personal jamming and a little recording. (great result with eq / reverb / compression.)
The rhythms are basic and don't vary wildly from preset to preset... the fills are as fun and kitsch as the main rhythms and kick in every 2 bars.
programming your own beats and making chains is easy enough (though it did take me a few reads of the manual to figure it out at first)
there is a small degree of velocity sensitivity which is useful.
My only bug bear is I would have liked to have seen a WALTZ selection like on old analogue machines... but never mind.
like those analogue machines, there are some jazz presets which you will never use.

I have read elsewhere that there is no tap / beat sync feature and no BPM setting.. which is true... would have been nice but as mentioned, it's not a pro machine... so not really an issue....what it is... is bloody good lo-fi fun. I love it.

oh, only slight grouch.(apart from no waltzes)..when you hit START there seems to be just a tiny (but noticable) delay til the beat starts, whereas with a foot switch it kicks in straight away.

A mistake of a purchase

CDStewArt 14.03.2021

I thought I would use this for accompaniment and practice, but it is nothing more than a glorified metronome with no room for growth.
Mainly, the rhythms and sounds are not very interesting or inspiring, and there is no easy way to really create better ones.
I'm sure some people would find it adequate or even useful, but I have found it limiting and it has been relegated to a drawer and never used anymore.
