"Well worth it, period."

Feature:
Out of all the items in the same genre, MPD16 and Trigger Finger included, it by far has the most features so it has to get a 10 out of 10 on this one.

Quality:
One of my pads doesn't always respond so I'm exchanging it for a new one, but it is made out of plastic like the other 2 MIDI pad items on the market. The pads feel great, the knobs and buttons feel great, so quality will be a 8 because it is plastic.

Value:
For $200, not bad at all. All beat makers should have this.

Desirability:
The way it looks and after the NAMM video I saw, I had to have it, and am not dissapointed at all.

Sound:
As you all know, it doesn't make its own sounds, but triggers sounds. The pads feel great, and with the fixed or different velocity, it gives you a lot of different sounds that you might not have thought of without one.

Ease of Use:
I'm a total beginner, and the manual does basically nothing for you. I'm still learning on the go, but it doesn't seem impossble to learn everything.

Overall:
Everything is great, except I have to exchange it because one of my pads doesn't work to well, but everything else is great.

"The Best of the best, right here."
