Feature:
I wish it had banks so it could hold more than one sample at a time. That's one of my least favorite things about it. I also wish it had midi via usb or firewire. It would be near perfect if it had those things but it's still not bad so I give it an 8. It has a very accurate bpm counter, which is nice and it even remembers the rate of the sample so when you stretch or shrink the time of it, the bpm of the sample reflects the changes.

Quality:
The unit is solid. The crossfaders on numarks have been known to go out from use but it hasn't messed up yet and it is replaceable. The crossfader still feels nice so that's a redeeming factor.

Value:
I'd give it a 10 if it had midi ability and sample banks as described above.

Desirability:
It's a very attractive piece of gear. The knobs feel very nice and have nice grip. The level faders are easy to flick and the crossfader had a slight resistance but moves easily and smooth. The sampler buttons have a "click" feel to them. I wish the record button was a rubber button so I could hit it hard but it's not bad.

Sound:
The sampler sounds good when playing back sounds. Not too shabby when slowing them down or speeding them up.

Support:
I've never had to deal with them directly.

Overall:
I'll give it an 8 since I really wanted some of the features which I described above. I think I'll keep it since it's a nice mixer and it has a lot of practical use but I may not replace it if it were stolen since midi and sample banks are important for my goals. If you don't need what I do then this mixer might be a fine choice.
