          Great musical item

          Gift for my son who produces electronic music. He loves it!

          Nice work

          I like this device, but to be honest, the metal bar used to strike it that came in the box does not record very well. Instead, I am now using a small wooden mallet from my kid's toy xylophone and it is much more pleasing to hear on playback. I do love this device though. BNN rocks!

          Cool. But backwards.

          Not sure who designed this but the longer bars (lower pitched) should be on the left with the shorter (higher pitched) bars to the right. Maybe they were being “wacky” but it winds up making it counterintuitive and less fun, especially for anyone who’s ever played a xylophone, piano, or any tuned percussion.

          So cool...

          What a great instrument. I'm looking forward to incorporating the Phone Home into my compositions, but in the meantime my children love this thing. What a great way to introduce anyone to looping, recording and the sheer delight of music.

          Very intuitive interface makes it perfect for a horror movie’s soundtrack or silly fun.
          Turn pitch knob all the way up to get the lowest possible tweakage, like a 1 track cassette recorder with a looper and delay.
          Sample your favorite funky grooves and pitch them down to achieve elements of the “vaporwave” sound.

          A sample of beatboxing with simple xylophone hits can create an entire song with multiple parts.
          Great with loopers and FX.

          Has been a joy since it arrived!
