Hi,

Does anyone here know how to use this machine???
I just want to know (in plain english) how to create new loops/riffs & beats, & how to put them together...
The manual is no good, doesnt explain it properly..

cheers,

Paulie.

I used to have one of these before I knew what I was doing. This machine accually works alot like the ReDrum in Reason execpt the pads can also be used as keys. If you read the manual well it shows you how to make a track from start to finish. know that it sounds complicated at first but just follow the steps one by one and create the sample song. Then things will start making sense and the more you use it the more features you will be able to use. I wish I still had my machine. You wanna sell it? I took it back because I wanted to use the cash to build a computer that got stolen anyways. Man, I was stupid. It's no MV-8000 or MPC but it's a nice machine for dance music and maybe southern hip-hop. Good luck.
