"Make it crunchy!"
I know there is software out that can do more than the box and does it easier. But when you start mucking with the nobs and playing with the beats on the fly it freakin rocks!
Sound
Resolution is not top notch, but I like the crunchy sound.
Features
I love to totally muck up my samples and then resample and muck up again! The effects are top notch. And the presets are for the most part very usable (but who uses presets?).
Quality
The box has a very sturdy and solid feel to it. Knobs feel a little weak, but I've tweaked the heck of them with no problems.
Value
For a sampling beatbox, this is about as good as it gets! Rolands SP 202 is similar, but the crunchy sounds I get out of the Korg are killer!
