Very well built. You have

Very well built. You have pad banks, but only one "bank" for faders and encoders.
Not an issue at all, you can switch between... 5(?) programs, this way you have 2 pad banks + encoders + faders times 5.

Super MIDI, už tokią kainą tikrai puikus, patiko labiau nei AKAI MPC, tik visas iš plastiko. Problemu tai nesukelia, tik jausmas ant kai kuriu dalių galėtų but geresnis
