NEW REVIEW - Worth Every Penny

I just started out in the music production field, about 6 months, and I would have to say that this little thing can work wonders. I've had people who have produced for a while ask me how I got the drums to sound so crisp, and I just say the Akai XR-20. At first, it will seem like you will run out of song ideas, but invest time into this thing and you can create insane music. I wouldn't recommend this if you want to make complete songs, but I think this is a great background beat maker, and works perfectly with an MPC-1000 and some music editing software. MIDI all the way!!!

Dome LIttle Pad!

I bought htis on an impilse after falling in love with it while looking for something else. This is probably the best drum machine on the market right now and i strongly encourage you to buy it. Its killer out-of-the-box set ups and its fully custimizable. The lights are a dome visual for live shows and the large LED makes aeverything so much easier. IF you are looking for a great, cheap, productio station for hip-hop, rap, techno, electronica, groove, anything, i strongly suggest this.
