It was a great sequencer specifically for some kicks snares and hi hats. Combined with the gritty sound it had, it was very pleasing. It’s not the best sequencer. There is no best sequencer. Going from idea to completion is what matters most. I personally couldn’t stand the Zip disks anymore with it.

But that's setting the bar a bit low? There are many things that could accomplish this task extremely well (sequencing some kicks snares and hihats). The problem here for me (aside from the terrible writing) is fetishization of old and hard to obtain gear. Someone then purchases it and it collects dust because it requires more effort to use, or you don't want to devalue your investment.

I like the sound and some of records I like were produced with it.
