Really don't want to sell this, but in serious need of cash right now! I'm after £300 for it.
This is a very reliable piece of equipment, i've used it to play synths off Reason and it has always done a good job.
Stuff it does:
1)It's got a built in soundcard, so basically you won't get any noticeable latency, its got two jack/mic inputs so you could use this as an interface to record stuff on your computer (again no real latency).
2)It's a synth. It does lots of synthy stuff, you can play this without a computer, the synth on it is actually pretty decent, with lots of controllable knobs and sliders. It's got a kaoss type thing next to the pitch control, you can mess around with sounds with that which is pretty cool.
3)It's a really reliable controller - like i said, i used it to control reason, but you can control anything with it, it just connects via USB and away you go, there's a load of presets on the machine that mean the faders/knobs on the synth can control the sounds coming out of a computer/another synth.
