I disagree with the hideously ugly. I like cool looking LEDs and cosmetics as much as the next guy - looks cool on stage and in the studio. But………after looking at desktop interfaces for a long time, this is the first one that seems to be perfect as far as what I’m looking for and what it does. My only wishes is that the graphics were bigger for low light situations and the SONAR. There’s other software I would prefer, but I understand Cakewalk is a Roland company.

Thanks for the feedback. That’s what its for - so you can share different opinions.

My feeling is that if you’re going to have a piece of hardware in this day and age, you need to give it some hands-on control. Otherwise, you might as well use software.

And it is hideously ugly - it looks like it could be an old-school tape recorder, not a synth module.

I don’t think it is “hideous ugly”. Just because there are no knobs to it? Just asign them through MIDI and adjust through your controler, or even better, adjust the virtual knobs in the software plug-in inside your favorite DAW.

What a stupid “review”, really.
