"Everything I wanted in a sampler."

This thing is fantastic.
The only con is the manual says to use TRS cables to record audio in and disable the mic. That's not true! It actually requires TS cables! TRS cables won't turn off the internal mic and will not record clear audio or mono with this device. However, TS cables work great and the device responds to those immediately.
Besides that, it's a great multipurpose sampler and is easy to use. You can record any mono or stereo audio via line in and editing is straight forward. You can also drag and drop Wav. files onto the device via usb.
After sampling, just drag and drop the Wav file into your DAW or record line in via the MXP16 line outs.
It's as easy as that.

"Must have for any industrial musician"
We use this thing as a sample trigger for various sweeps and movie samples during our live shows. The loop functionality and ability to change velocity, pitch, and volume on the fly is extremely useful. Samples can be loaded directly from PC to SD card and kits can be created and saved to the card.Only con is long samples take a while to load. It takes about 3 minutes for full boot when loading a custom kit of 2-4 second samples. So power it on and load your kit BEFORE your set starts.
