Had some time to play with it and overall its a great machine.
Display is bright...lights up well in the dark in some instances it can even be used to look through your cd case with all the lights in the room off.
buffer or memory is great. no lags in response when a button is pressed fast & repeatedly.
Buttons: I found the "reloop" button to be a bit small when you're in the zone and tryin to do a lot of your own fancy effects.
effects work great and are easy to use.
sampler is great.
multiple cue points seem a little difficult at first...probably just takes osme getting used to.
as far as reading cd's...im not sure how it holds up...havent gotten to put it through the ringer yet. My partner mentioned something about one side reading cd's slower than the other, not sure if that is true or if it was just his imagination due to the pressure of the party.
So far I am happy with my purchase and after playing with almost all the machines on the market I definitely like it and think it is one of the best.
Durability.....only time will tell...hopefully it has a much better track record than a n-u-m-a-r-k cdn-88....we'll see
Got some more tests do do on the unit and ill post more info when i get osme time.
