if you got other equipment: think twice about it.
if you dont own other equipment: don't buy it.

it might be cool for the beginning, but at the end, it's worth nothing. go ahead with some software products, and start over with them. then, if you are more experied, you can answer the question "what to buy" yourself
i been using almost nothing but software for some time now, but just borrowed this yeaterday. ithink its good, cause normally i focus so much on just getting a track "perfect" , and not being that spontaneous. this thing is more on the fly kinda, forces you to think quicker, like in a live situation. and its also good for getting down ideas, if they suddenly come to mind, so you can go and do it for real afterwards. and i like the sound of it too, but im not paying too much for it though :)

i tried the quote thing, but dont know if it works
