Fun and capable of good results
ARQ is fun and capable of good results. But before you get dazzled by its lights, consider if it’s the perfect fit for you, as it isn’t cheap. PROS: - Unique design. - Fun and productive pattern sequencer and looper. CONS: - Not cheap. - Menu system isn’t the most intuitive.

Good writeup. I wish it was easier to make bullet points in reviews here. :) I too have a few pros/cons write-ups that looked great when I hit SUBMIT, but then end up flattened like this. Anyway, quality insights regardless.
