  • I'll agree some of the sounds are pure cheese, but there isn't a major piece of gear that I've owned (including $3,000 synths) that didn't have a few cheese sounds onboard. However, the 246 has many usable samples.., and with some minute tweeking you can get some really good beats out of this thing. People today just don't want to edit anything it seems. Everyone wants to sample or get samples they can chop up and call their own.

  • thank you for posting

  • does anyone know why mine doesnt count me in when i press record and play?

  • Great to sample sounds u like and put n mpc 60!! Or 3000 makes no since to buy other peoples kit when half the work is done for u.

  • do you know if you can use it with a computer?

  • drum machines will always be limiting, but you can bounce a lot of ideas off it if you're writing something, and with enough creativity, you can make something that can stand on its own.

  • i wrote a drum pattern in real time mode,and it ended in 5-2 and i wanted it to go back to 1 immediately,but it keeps 5-3 and 5-4 and it sounds like 2 rests,is there anyway i can get rid of the last half of the 5th measure? please help lol

  • @squeakD i think thats was the whole reason circuit bending was made for...so that people could make their own unique sounds that only they can make

  • Thanks a lot I needed that. Would u be able to go into more details with the streetboxx or show more features?

  • great video. informative.

  • @sponserdsk8ter thanks for the response! helped alot

  • @901kid you cannot connect it through usb. the best and cheapest way to get yours projects on to your computer is through a headphone to headphone jack and plug it into your computers audio in input. then use then record
