I'll use this til it breaks and more than ikely purchase another one.
Sound
I use the dr-770 drum machine and sound wise everything is fine. I do have troubles with it in acid pro 7, but it works great in cubase le5. I haven't exactly figured that one out yet, but I believe it's the software settings in the DAW.
Features
I do like the feature of using the advanced driver switch. And being able to turn midi thru off.
Ease of Use
It's fairly easy if you get all the settings right in the software, the midi device, and the drivers.
Quality
It seems to be a well built unit. I do not move it around alot but do beleive it would handle travel very well. It seems pretty sturdy.
Value
Very much worth the price.
Manufacturer Support
Support was very helpful in helping to figure out the small problems I had.
The Wow Factor
It's just a practicle addition to my setup. Nothing real sexy about it.
