Zoom In
By Peter Taylor
This is an excellent little unit. The presets are great and any unwanted presets can be overwritten by user if required when supplied empty user slots are full. Footpedal can control stop start , patch change or song sequence etc. and is programmable so can be used as a kick drum or anything else. There is a groove mode so presets can be played on keypads for improptu session playing of songs.( If you have the memory for it ) Unit is small with friendly GUI and remembers current settings after switching off- a huge bonus after years of frustration with Boss Dr 660.. Sounds are completely acceptable for gig or even studio use with lots of useful electo and percusion extras. I also have the streetbox but use this more in practice. Pads light up when hit and are very responsive. Battery option can be be handy for doing work on the move.Downside - only that there is Midi - In but no Midi thru or Out. This is a real nuisance because you can't bulk dump loops or songs to midi memory or use the presets to build your sequencer drum track from. With midi-out it would have been killer so 4+ stars.
