Worst sounding effects box ever. Everything sounds like cheap DJ mixer effects (actually, it is identical to the Roland DJ mixer effects). Cold, harsh, digital, and all the controls step like crazy.

still wondering what patented technology was infringed upon. I don't know for sure, something about "IP" and not for commercial use infringement. Not sure what that adds up to but it is obvious the community isn't in the position to pursue legal action. Is something ok if you can get away with it? ...

Tx81z all day long, much more usable than the tx7. Personally, i like the 4 op sound almost better than the 6 op
