Where Obtained: Sound Control Edinburgh UK
Unit has 300 preset Drums & Bass tracks (can mute Bass) plus 100 tracks you can create yourself. It has two selectable drum kits (75 types in each) so you can create tracks with basic drums plus percussion plus bass for example. There are 25 different bass sound some of which are amazing.
Drums and Bass patterns are created using pads (touch sensitive). Bass pads can be tuned to various scales or individualy.
Tracks can be up to 99 bars long and can be buit up using copy and paste feature.
I use this for home practice and also plan to use it in conjunction with Cubase on the PC.
It could be used live, but it is small and quite lightweight and would need to be handled carefully.
When in use, the pads light up in time to the beats so it looks like a mini disco !
