puts teenage engineering to shame
This thing is magical, the sequencer and work flow is so hands on and fun. I even prefer it to the Digitone. It's capable of anything, smooth beautiful organic instruments, harsh noise, fat throbbing bass.Be wary I believe there was some quality control issues as I had several of these and a few sounded very low fi, not in a good way. But when I buy a new one they sound fantastic very clear and powerful and even with a lot of sounds it doesn't get mushy. Perhaps this is why they kept the polyphony so low. Still you could write an album with this alone. Get a sampler and maybe one other little synth for variation and you are capable of nearly anything.I really respect Sonicware and think they're just what the industry needs. I've tried pretty much every groovebox sequencer thing on the market and this is one of my favourites. I just love the keyboard and hands on portable nature there isn't anything else like it.

More than meets the eye
A fantastic FM synth / groovebox in a tidy form factor. I/O is well catered for with full size midi and audio in and out. The speaker is super useful and can be switched off when using the line out connection.Uses several engines of a simplified form of FM synthesis. Can make searing leads, mellow pads and glitchy bass sounds and everything in between, including drum and percussion sounds. Using 4 tracks you can come up with some great lo-fi and smooth grooves.Really impressed so far and highly recommend for the money especially.

Awesome capabilities, not the simplest.
You need the provided overlay to use edit mode. Other than that it seems like a really capable little groovebox.Heck of a learning curve though.

A Brilliant Synth
It is a brilliant FM Synth & does so much. It isn't particularly intuitive to use straight out of the box though. It's a steep learning curve. The best thing is to watch YouTube tutorial videos.

Great value for money and portable
Great value 4 track groovebox with a deep FM synthesis engine. For the money it is the most complete package I can think of.

Good and bad
Fantastic groove box, a steep learning curve but rewarding once you understand how it works, great sound design.. Unfortunately mine stopped working, no power.. Sonicware wanted me to return it to Japan at my own expense (which was almost half of original cost of item) which I really couldn't afford, so now it's just a paper weight...disappointed considering I also own a liven 8bit..
