  1. I have one and it’s great. Highly recommended. It’s far more powerful than it appears. I think it’s the best compact sampler ever made. Not a ton of sampling time, but you can move stuff easily to the computer and it’s all about doing cool stuff with minimal ingredients. The 404 is awesome, but if you’re dipping your toes in the pool, try the P6 first. You may find it does what you need.

  2. This is such a great and fun little sampler. I’m hoping they make a big brother version with a proper screen and pull some of the menu diving out into some high level controls, next year?

  3. I applaud the amount of function it offers, but I’m not wild for that much miniaturization. Operating things that small calls for a stylus and a jeweler’s loupe in one eye! Big deal, I have options. I like seeing classy tools such as this give Behringer some proper competition.

  4. powerfull stuff, experimentally well oriented, but hard to learn and functions hided by shortcuts. led screen is not a problem for me. infinite curse for rotative buttons would be nice when you jump from a pad to another, with different parameters. because the sound jump also !

  5. The limited sample memory, the fact that manipulating samples in one patch alters all other patches too and that very pre-historic 4-segment display makes this one very frustrating to use.

  6. Looks like an excellent gadget for none iPad Pro users πŸ˜‰
    Btw; Big thanks for Synthhead for staying on top of latest and relevant NAMM releases πŸ™‚
