I bought this thing a few years back and took my sweet a$$ time learning how to use it. I'm glad I did because it is well worth the learning curve. The thing is a beast. There is so much functionality in this box that it will take some time to learn all of what it does. I can see why the MPC platform has made such a mark on music. It's a powerful enabler for getting your ideas from your imagination into the world.

This mixer is almost perfect. The form factor is incredible in terms of how much it does in such a small footprint. It's well worth the price. The only thing that is less than perfect is it's sensitivity to interference. If it's not powered correctly or if any of the gear that is patched in is powered incorrectly, then there may be some buzzing issues. These can be resolved with moving power to the right place ie. everything should be coming through one outlet if possible. This is not unique to the bluebox but it does seem to be extra sensitive about it. Other than that, the thing is a treat.

No need to buy new. Got mine on facebook marketplace for $50. At this price it’s an insane value. There are a few FL Studio scripts that make it even more effective as a controller. Highly recommended. Not sure why the cons state that Rosetta is required in an M1 Mac. I don’t think this is the case, any longer.
