    Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the drum machine. Some mention that it has one of the best on-board sounds of any drum machine out there, and the sounds can be processed through the internal FX section for different reverb. They also say that the pads can be assigned different sounds, making it easy to make music right away. However, other customers say that it only plays hip-hop beats, the outputs are somewhat noisy, and that the volume difference is huge.
