The ability to cycle through up to four samples is unique and advanced. But, it's very toy-like with only songs or chord patterns instead of plain rhythms. No fill-in/breaks or sample line in either. It doesn't even have a headphone out. I had a 1/4" stereo jack added.
Features:
• 32 mini keys (no velocity or aftertouch)
• 36 tones including 6 human-voice cycles
• 36 songs with melody on/off and "magical singer" (which switches all sounds to human voice samples). Your sample 1 can also be triggered instead of default sound.
• 4 sample buttons with built-in mic (no sample input jack).
• Sample effects: short, medium, long, cycle: 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2-3,4; tune up/down 5 micro-steps; release, reverse, loop.
• Runs on 5 AA batteries or 7.5V AC adapter.
