This is a steal! I can't believe people still payy. A midi keyboard or midi drum machine a 1, 2, or 3 thousands dollars for hardware keyboards or drum machines. All you need is a computer & sequencer software. If your produce beats you more then likely have them. Emu soundcard which is cheap in price high in quality you are good to go. The samples are no doubt for hip hop and dance. That's the only set back if you were looking for a over one stop shop however you do get 2G worth of sounds when you purchase protues x or emulator x. Overall it's a winner! Big grime -
