I waited a while to get my hands on one of these but it was 100% worth it. This thing is much more than a drum machine/synth. It's an inspiration machine. Although slightly intimidated by its seeming complexity at first I was actually, within a couple of minutes of using it, creating sounds and patterns I just wouldn't have ever done so using anything else. The thing sounds like a beast and is capable of bone rattling bass, head snapping snares, feedback loops, drones and IDM/glitch style sound design. It's also built like a tank and has a satisfying weightiness to it. It's not cheap though and as such if what you are after is a more conventional drum machine with a standard approach to sequencing (as opposed to pulsar 23's parrallel loopers approach) this might not be the machine for you. However, if you are like me this thing might lead you down musical avenues you just wouldn't have reached otherwise.
