Feature:
i read that u can hookup other instruments to this machine but so far i haven't tried but for the turntables it is excellent.

Quality:
the bottom of the machine has threads that let u screw the machine onto a mic stand. the machine appears to be built well i haven't had any problems yet. i have had it for 4 months to date.

Value:
i would say this machine is definitly worth it compared to others that are confusing to use.

Desirability:
the design of the machine makes it stand out when people see it for the first time.

Sound:
The sound quality varies from each effect. I recommend you imput one turntable through instead of hookin up the output of a mixer into the machine. if u put the output of the mixer into the machine the sound quality and certain effects won't work or will be hard to notice. you can also preview each sound effect through the headphones. sound effects 34,35,36 are for voices so u would want to hook up the output of a mixer directly into the machine in that case.

Support:
i have emailed the company with questions and they responded promptly with helpful answers.

Overall:
I bought this sound fx machine based on price, quality, and difficulty. other sound fx machines on the market either cost more or are confusing to use. since the machine can be used in so many ways it won't get boring to use at any time.i would try other sound fx machines if i have the chance but this one seems to be perfect for what i do.

This device's colorful exterior does no justice to what's packed away inside it. I have found many, many different uses for the AirFX, from synthesizing bass lines from percussion samples, creating freakish effects, and making my tv sound just too wierd to shifting envelopes, adding emphasis to melody lines, and vocoding lyrics.
This truly is a very versatile and useful device, and I recommend it to everyone in any music field, from electronic and experimental to vocal and folk.

When I use it on stage people flip out at the crazy sounds. Some of the effects syncrhonize to the music which is really useful live...

fun in the studio,
limited application for live work.
the standalone presets seem to overwhelm
the original signal,
and the processed stuff tends to
get buried in the mix

Nice idea, but the responsive space is way to small to be usefull, predictable, and well controlled. Mine only responds within a couple inches. Get a Kaos pad.
