I got one a few weeks ago, and frankly I haven't decided how I feel about
it yet. Does look/feel like a cheap plastic toy. Packed with effects, a
lot of which sound pretty much alike. Also, none of the effects are
particularly subtle...it's quite obvious that you're tweaking the sound.
I was excited about the pitch shift ability, but it's quite flangey, as
well as extremely imprecise. (First of all, the X and Y axes both control
different stereo channels...it's nearly impossible to position your finger
in such a way as to avoid a horrific tonal clash...)
That said, for an ambient dj who's got four channels going, it could be a
great tool..the sampler's only five seconds, and is also imprecise, but
that's less important if you're not trying to beatmatch. This is where
I'm going to experiment next...
Of course, it helps if your mixer has an effects loop. Mine doesn't. Any
ideas?
