Now lets get down to the good part! There is'nt no good part. In my opinion the loops were'nt that good at all. Not by todays standards. It's a shame the loops can't be sync to midi. How can I use the loops. And besides there are too many loops and not enough samples. No pianos,no guitars, and 3 rhodes samples. Get the Rap-Techno Qcard. I heard that card and it's very good. Should have gotten it.

Very easy to use. Just slip it right in the slot and go. Manual comes with it as well as a CD Demo of various QCards and Freeloader, Sound Bridge, etc. I'm not into editing sounds so I can't answer that part.

8 MB of loops/sounds, etc. It has everything that you can imagine for Hip Hop, Trip Hop, Dance, R & B, Funk music styles. I love this QCard!

Well, as far as sounds goes, it depends on what you're looking for. For me, it satisfy my musical needs and is a great partner to my drum machine. Very easy to sequence on my computer and on my digital multitrack. A+

I would buy this QCard again if it was lost or stolen. For less than $100, you can't beat that. The styles/sounds on this card helped me in creating Hip Hop and R & B music. I will always have this card plugged into the slot along with the Rap Techno Dance QCard, they're both a life saver (or music saver-hehee). I'm now looking forward in purchasing the rest of the QCards in the near future, especially the Classical and Sanctuary Cards -- they're both amazing (Ahhh-Menn).
