[0.7 oz (20 g)] Intuitive and portable. Works well in live applications as well as in the studio. Being able to access and manipulate multiple parameters at the same time (mute control of instrument parts, fx, and part pitch / speed) makes it handy for live performance. Moving back and forth between triggering samples and step sequencing works well for ideation.

[0.7 oz (20 g)] I have been doing special effects 45 years and this baby pumps out the fog. Ran it for 6 min straight and the fogger kept blowing is as good as their more expensive models well made

[0.7 oz (20 g)] Quick, easy, small drum sequencer with great features. The stutter knobs make this unit really cool. Just twist to add either a simple delay, or change the groove entirely. The controls over kick snare tom and hat are intuitive and quick. Can create significant feel changes very easily. Definitely see myself using this often to demo grooves, and layer into larger arrangements.

[0.7 oz (20 g)] Been using this for a while with no issues at all. Well built, excellent haze control and DMX options as well. Highly recommended. Check out the usage on Synchronicity Motion Pictures.

[0.7 oz (20 g)] This is really a superb analog synth! Three oscillators and a killer filter, you won't be sorry if you buy this. In truth, this is so much more than a bass machine. It is a synth in a small package. I think sometimes it gets confused with being a 303 clone, but it most certainly is not. The price is unbelievable and you can't make a bad decision in choosing this unit. Fun for days! If anything, it is under-priced for what it is. Don't think twice.

[0.7 oz (20 g)] I love it! I specifically decided to go with the Volca Beats for three reasons - to mess with analog, to get used to a sequencer, and of course the price! Anything in the same price range or cheaper seems to be mostly preset grooves or lack a sequencer. If I ever decide to upgrade, then there are lots of options and features to choose from. But for starting out and for the price, it’s great. The volume output for everything but the kick is pretty low, so even though I do jam along with it with my guitar and keyboard, eventually I want to buy a pedal to boost the volume of it. I use it everyday though, and get creative to work around the limitations, so if you are open minded and starting out in the world of drum machines, I would highly recommend this one.

[0.7 oz (20 g)] Yes, it sounds amazing. The snare is not the 808 snare, but you can get some really cool sounds out of it, especially with the stutter. I usually layer it with the clap, which you can tune via PCM, and it sounds outstanding, so I am not modding it. Don't get bogged down in snaresville, this thing has a huge kick drum, stutter feature, amazing step jumping, a ribbon controller, it syncs to your DAW's external clock, and it has live motion and stutter recording. Believe me when I say it's worth every penny, even if you end up using a different drum machine, this thing is a mini beast and so fun!

[0.7 oz (20 g)] Easy to play. Very friendly analog drum machine

[0.7 oz (20 g)] Excellent seeder for Particle Image Velocimetry Measurements (Fluid Mechanics Research).

[0.7 oz (20 g)] I've had the Beats for about a month now and it's been great. In use, it is very immediate...you are creating beats and rhythms within seconds. I would not count on it for its snare sound (unless you mod it). For me, I use it primarily as a glitch machine. The kick sound is very powerful and quite deep and full sounding. The hats are capable of a wide range of sound from hat-like to glitch-like. One really buys these for the stutter mechanism...that's when the box really gets going.
