Strengths
- Genuine analog drum-voice circuits inspired by the TR-808/909 lineage, built new rather than salvaged from aging original units
- 6 individual outputs give real per-drum mixing control that the original TR-808/909 didn't even offer
- A true cult favorite among techno producers specifically seeking authentic analog drum circuitry without vintage-unit prices or reliability risk
Trade-offs
- German boutique manufacturing in limited runs means real units are genuinely hard to find on the used market today
- Considerably less famous than the original Roland units it draws inspiration from, so documentation is comparatively sparse
