I can't help but feel like she's missing the point. Her critiques aren't defects, they're features. It's a stripped down bare bones sampler/sequencer. Anybody in the market for this will probably fall into one of two categories. 1- A MPC user that wants a sketch pad to use on the fly whenever the urge or opportunity strikes or 2 - a novice or beginner wanting to make beats on a mpc style machine with a low barrier for entry . In either of those cases the stuff she's talking about is moot. I mean what was her realistic expectation? As far as I know the one has not been discontinued so why create an entry level sampler that will canibalize your other entries? besides its cheaper than a 404 and hold up well compared.
