Old but gold
It is well known among the community that the quality of the audio this machine delivers is excellent, and it is fair to say that all the analogue VCAs and Filters do their job properly.
When I decided to buy this beast, I was aware of the several downsides it brings with it (an old-school interface, a rather limited sequencer, some minor screen bugs and eventual freezes, to mention just a few). So, it is also fair to say that the way you interact with it can negative determine how the experience develops. Nonetheless, as I was saying at the outset, the machine provides an interesting sound palette, very professional, and with a massive organic feeling every single time. When I first plugged it in to the mixer it automatically gave me a top tier electro beat which, in addition to the novation peak, was instantly transformed into an interesting song idea. (I mention Peak because it normally surpasses other gear in terms of sound quality and strength, so being able to pair the Alpha Base 2 with it is a clear good sign). What I am trying to say is that you really can start sounding great in just a few minutes. I have other boxes, but this feeling happened only with this one. I can't wait to see what sound I get from it after a year of use.
If you don't mind to travel back to the past interface-wise, and you want to level up your sound immediately, just go for it, but don't expect it to do the job for you... you will have to learn how to use it properly... Good luck!
