This sample sequencer contains a lot of functionality in a very small volume. Relatively intuitive, the grip is fast despite documentation, in my opinion, very low (February 2015). Do not talk about Akai tutorials online (February 2015), or demonstrations are so fast it's hard to follow the concept of manipulation. At that time, in February 2015, like many buyers, I had great difficulty operating the "Motion Edit" in "Step Mode" (important function changes the pitch of a note for each step) yet clear in the documentation. And because this function does not exist (!?) On firmware 1.22 Book on the machine. We must update the firmware to version 1.30 available only from January 2015. The update firmware and sample loading is done from any audio source that (iPhone, Android, PC. ..) but still beware, this does not work with all audio outputs (I had to personally try several before finding PC UNE (HP ProBook 4510s- works). In this case the upload samples is done through a free application (I personally use the Caustic Volca Sample Editor for PC). In summary, an excellent machine that has not yet entirely stripped of its teething problems in February 2015 ...
