Coming from the hardware i know what to expect and this doesnt disappoint. Its the most feature rich and immediate experience ive come across. Very well supported by the team. Watch some videos on how to use the m8 to get a sense of it. Workflow is incredible, Resampling on the go, automating, incredible potential with the 4 lfo/adsr/etc per instrument, so easy to add variety and interest to a sound.
Thank you
