Pretty sturdy

Gives everything the grimy effect of sampling. Bought used so no instructions going in. Love the look, just need to do more studying on it to get the better of its features. Feel like it's a basic need for a cool setup.

Simple, heavy-duty live controller

Great as a performance controller and decent responsiveness. I also like the fact that it has after-touch pressure sensitivity and FX knobs and cool faders.
