It has all the sounds and power of the MC -Series but its newly developed D-Field touch-sensitive pad controller (like a large trackpad) can be used to modify patterns, sounds, and parameters by rubbing and touching its surface. The D2 boasts 150 new patterns, including the latest two-step and R&B styles. Sounds are the same as in
the MC-505 Groovebox, including 600 preset patches, thirty preset rhythm kits, and 64-voice polyphony. Onboard effects sections include separate reverb, delay, and multi-effects processor; as well as such cutting-edge effects as Slicer, Isolator, and Lo-Fi Processing. The onboard sequencer holds 150 preset patterns, covering such styles as house, techno, drum 'n' bass, and hip-hop. Using the D-Field for data input, you can create up to 100 user patterns and 25 songs, then store them in the 40,000 note sequencer memory. Connections include stereo RCA output, stereo headphone output, plus MIDI in and out.

Mark downs like that (steep and fast) end to put up a warning flag in my mind... They definately weren't trying to make the average beat machine. Looks kinda gimmickie... I wouldn't touch it.
I say, just save your money up and cop a tried and true peice. Like
EPS16, ASR 10, MPC, etc. for a sample based setup... Or some type of keyboard workstation.... I got my Korg
01/wfd for 500 at a pawnshop. Shit is all I ever really needed to make some dope tracks. Korg made some cheaper workstations around the time of the TRINITY that'll might go cheap now...
Roland XP60's and 80's are dope. Ensoniq had some dope workstations a few years back. All these got full feartures plus or minus som shit but will get the job done.
When you peep something just keep asking. Here and in the KEYBOARDS area.
