Thanks but no thanks. Akai must be trying to get beginners on a budget with this one. No usb or flash card????? No way to update the O.S. or the sound set????? Sounds like a updated Alesis HR16, or Boss Dr. Rhythm… Ummmm…. I’ll pass

I think I’m going to pick one up to replace my old DR-5. It has better sounds for making crunk beats and a more usable interface.

This beat box is awesome! Portability, sound quality, with a few MPC traits thrown in for good measure… It works for me!

I agree the xr20 was pretty bad. I wasn’t impressed with the new mpc 5000 either. It seemed really buggy!
