I can do a ton of stuff on it, but it's nothing that I can't do in FPC already. I just can't ever find a drum riff that matches what I'm playing. Some will be close, but a kick or snare will be off, and it messes the whole thing up. The tap to find doesn't get me what i need, and I always get the same setup in the song generator, no matter what beat i start with. Like, it's always the same 4 intros, verses, pre chorus, chorus, bridges, and endings. No matter what the beat, or time sig.
It feels to me like another money pit. At $30 each for midi packs, and $80 for the ezx expansions, you could drop $500 in this thing, and still not get what you want. It's making me think of those pay to play/ pay to win video games on our phones. You have to spend more money on it every time you want do something different. I'm just not digging it, and there isn't much I haven't done with it. It's still faster and easier for me to program my stuff in FPC.
I don't know... I'm going to spend the rest of the day messing around with it, but so far, all it's good for to me is pulling up a random beat and noodling. Can't use it in practical recording situations, because the beats never really match what you are playing. That, or I just need to find a real drummer to jam and record with. There is just no substitution for a human drummer that knows what he's doing.

I hear Mexico is nice this time of year.
