I never thought you'd go back to the 500, but it's good that you're enjoying it.
The pads were always stiff. After a while, they will get softer, the more you use it.

yeah heh

kind of over buying used products

it's cool does what i want it to do chop samples and record loops and single hits plus an internal delay

that's great news about the pads when i opened it up and thought oh damn these things are super hard to trigger

polyphony is weird
