So I only use it as a “tool” to manipulate samples and make loops to use on Maschine; not to make patterns or complex pieces and for the use that I have of them it's very good it allows a different approach and a way of creating loops and variations that stick together.

It's even better than the first generation of Volca Sample. The USB port makes it easy to transfer files and update the firmware. Love the build quality and the portability.
