so I got a Handsonic.....

I bought a Handsonic yesterday, and I REALLY like it now.  Like most 
Roland 
Gear, you have to undo alot of damage in the presets.  Someone had 
mentioned 
earlier how the retriggered samples sounded fake.  The BEST feature of 
this 
unit is that it encourages you to play more than one sample at a time.  
THAT 
is what makes it sound 'real'.  Anyway, for me the Handsonic will inspire 
lots of new grooves.  I still enjoy playing the real versions of these 
instruments (Tabla and Udu are REAL hard to fake) but making quick loops 
and 
changing sounds quickly for overdubs is really fun...kind of a solitary 
drum 
circle (next album name?).
