Akai XR20 Beat Production Station Drum Machine Reviews

Amazing results. Funky, groovy, sounds awesome through my Korg KP3 Kaoss pad. Cool modes on this machine, too: it plays bass and synth. And one-shot FX. And there's tons and tons of samples--and you can switch drum kits on the fly. And you can switch patterns on measure boundaries only! Which keeps live jams with it from running out of control. And it does fills. And it sounds great. AND it has a microphone input, which means that I can send my voice into it! And it looks awesome. And the user interface is really well designed. And it's small. And it runs on batteries. And and and and and... 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful:  This could be a one stop shop, By Bakuhatsu (High in the Rockies) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Akai XR20 Beat Production Station Drum Machine (Accessory) If you're looking to do electronic music this drum machine could possibly keep you occupied by itself for a very long time.

I sold it recently. Why? Because the pads were too stiff. Because the interface was far from intuitive. Because the polyphony on it was faulty. Because as a performance tool, it was dull as hell visually.Before I sold the MPC500, I picked up an XR20. I turned it on. Fifteen minutes later, I was programming beats and songs. The interface is pretty intuitive once you understand about five things. The sound quality is amazing. The number of kits included is insane. The look of the unit once its turned on it pretty spiffy as well. I love the light-up pads (I also own a Korg PadKontrol USB Drum Pad... Read more |
