This is a diverse and feature packed unit that has virtually no end of features and capability. Individual track modifications, pattern mods. So much to play with while live. The screen interface is a bit.. challenging, and the feel of the pads doesn't give a whole lot of feedback, but the capabilities it offers for the price are fantastic.

I purchased this a couple of months ago and have enjoyed it since then. Learning took some time, but well worth the effort. It is not a super deep machine from a learning perspective, but will take time to learn. The Samples has so many options in a small and sleek formst. It can make everything from basic beats to complex rhythmic patterns for many genres of electronic and other genres of music. I've made some great tunes with this already and have used it in live jam settings. I love that it has other features in it including a chromatic keyboard for synth and basslines, ambient noise, and a vast array of drum and synth sounds. It is not a true synth, but I knew that purchasing it. It is nice to have those synth features to add the compositional diversity when making a beat.while not a true synth it still does the job of a synth at its most basic. It is one of the most fun and useful pieces of gear I own.

Product Experience I've tried it
Closest Store Toronto (Bloor St.), Ontario
I have rented this from Long & McQuade for about 3 months now. This thing is NOT just a drum machine. This is a sample player with 6 tracks but also per step sample loading capabilities. This means you can have more than just 6 samples playing per pattern, but basically have as many samples as you have steps in your pattern. It has a very robust sequencer with note nudge capability and trigger conditioning. There is an immense number of possibilities that can be achieved using this groove box. There is parameter locking per step and an LFO, Reverb, Delay, Cutoff, Resonance and other goodies. I have had this run a bass line on my Minilogue while the other 5 tracks were used for drums. There are many videos out there about this little machine ( I recommend the one by Cuckoo), but one of the more interesting ones is about granular synthesis, since this unit can loop samples or simple wave forms. This means you can use it as a sampling synthesizer! This is NOT a sampler. You cannot sample directly into it, but you can upload your own samples using MIDI Sysex. The only thing that is not great, are the 6 large pads used to trigger the individual tracks. They are velocity and pressure sensitive, but you do have to hit them much harder than pads from other manufacturers to get full velocity. Getting this unit for the sequencer alone is worth the money!

Returned this after owning for 3 days.
the device was literally falling apart. rubber feet on the bottom fell off. buttons already felt worn.
Fun to play with, but 6 tracks really isnt enough to make full tracks. alittle limited in features. better off spending abit more and getting its older brother the digitak.

This is surely the cheapest and best stand-alone fully functional sampler/groovebox out right now. If you are interested in a drum machine but want a full Gig of custom samples to play with--this is your machine. There are other comparable machines but not with any great sampling abilities. It's light and plastic unlike the solid higher-end Elektron stuff, but it feels good. They put a lot of thought into designing this entry level machine--and bonus--made in Sweden (like all Elektron gear)! I also own the Digitakt and they are quite similar. The MS is a fair bit simpler/stripped down with less editing functions.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
