No thanks! And why's he using two of them, can't make that simple beat with just one?

I looked at the Best Buy listing, still no release date? Looks like a repeat of their of 2009 business plan; pay up front..and get nothing. Although this time it's $500 extra. I wish this joke would just end.

I want them to fail. And they will.

I'd like them to succeed…just because I want more variety and competition in the electronic musical instruments market. Put it this way–I'd rather have one of these than a Roland Juno-80.

if you would rather have this then an juno-80, you get rook of the status or must be on the “thangs” payroll. This is target to non-informed “pro-doossshhhhERS” who dont know anything about making “beatz”. Pretty sure emu already did this in the 90s..

Just tried this out at BestBuy. Have to say that I was not impressed with the pads at all. It seemed to me like there was too much of a delay after hitting the pad before the sample was triggered. The "roll" button didn't work that well either. Maybe the floor model was improperly set up or something, but I came away with a poor impression of it.
