EVERYTHING.. it has USB, 3000 sounds, a 1 octave keyboard pad layout.. its loaded with craziness.. and its made of adamantium!! (well, steel).. i didnt listen to anybody when i got it... i checked it out, played with it, watched some vids, listened to the sounds, and bought it.. and since its $999 and also sold at Sam Ash now, its the price i thought it was gonna be in the beginning.

did i mention its portable? runs on a laptop battery?

When in actuality it is wayyyyy more powerful than any MPC (128 midi tracks 8 audio,cd burning, all kinds of effects) and any level of swing can be dailed in. It's still one of my favorite pieces of gear and all the hate drove the price down so now I have 2. So like someone allready said F what u heard. Try it, if u like like it keep it

as far as tweakabilty.. nothing hardware touches the RS (maybe the MPC 5000) in that dept, but u can tweak a good amount of stuff in there.. it just might be right up there with the RS, but u hafta navigate thru the menus.. i havent done that yet.

as far as it being a workstation? yes.. this machine can do everything u need, for Hip Hop and all its sub-genres with no problem.. the Beat Kangs made a great machine... the timing, their attitude, and the inflated price tag, are the main reasons not many bought it.



do me a favor... get a friend to do it, but make sure ur foot's underneath... lol... actually, it might take a few drops b4 u even see a dent on the machine.. ur foot might be broken tho.



^^^EXACTLY!

It glitches up, it's a cheap Chinese plastic. With poorly set presets worse that platinum workstation VST. It's slower than a snail. The outputs broke off after a couple days.

Do not purchase

Although I like the concept of a laptop design compact in a powerful drum machine.
(I wish MPC-1000 could conect to a laptop battery....Lol)

However, if I'm going to pay that price, I'd rather wait until this ipad thing fades and the companies get smart, and start making musical DAW programs that fit Android & Windows 8 tablit pads.

It would be so convenient to sketch your work out on a tablet then easily transfer to your major DAW of USB, or just midi connect it as a drum machine into your DAW.

It's coming soon....I just know it.
Peace & blessings.
