Packed with features, this phrase sampler delivers. The perfect sampler for DJs and muscians who don't need a full-blown sampler. With more features than the Yamaha SU-10 and the Boss SP-202, the SampleTrak is worth every penny.

Pros: Can use standard SmartMedia cards available online for as low as $16.00 for an 8 MB card, compared to $65.00 for the Zoom brand 4 MB card. Has alot of features for the price. You can apply effects to external devices thru the line/mic-in.

Cons: No MIDI out or thru. Can't perform MIDI sample dumps.

Bottom Line: Very cool sampler. The new Korg Electribe-S may give it a run for its money.

Rating: 4.5/5
