I played one back to back with a TI Polar and I was amazed how toy-like it looked, felt and sounded. A shame really, as I really like the SH-101 and had sort of hoped for this to be a proper modernisation of that, rather than just an exercise in cashing in on the name (MC-303 all over again, anyone?
), as this seemed to be. The d-beam was good fun; could see that being nice to use live, particularly with the other hand doing broken chord manual arpeggios. I'd rather get a standalone midi controller with d-beam equivalent and use that with a Virus though.
Still, if you like it and the sound it makes, nowt wrong with it for your studio. I love Electribes, but most people think they are "toys".
