Feature:
microphone was broken right out of the package

Quality:
no help functions, errors out frequently

Value:
what a waste of hard earned money

Ease of Use:
instructions incomplete and next to impossible to interpret. they don’t address key tasks

Support:
cannot find any way to contact the company – they don’t seem to have a website

Overall:
i used an mp3 file rather than a cd, which the manual barely addresses. i got the lyrics all timed, but totally unclear how to get it on cd – burner option won’t recognize format. do i have to convert to a wav file? will the lyrics file it created go along with it?

With about three clicks you can take audio you’ve recorded from a record, slice it up, and export as a soundfont which automatically maps each sample to a key. Record a drum break. ReCycle will make a midi file of it, which you can open in your sequencer and edit. It will also give you each individual hit mapped to its own key. Its brilliant. I just made a great beat out of my keys.

Feature:
I’m loving the alternate tunings….I play mostly acoustic stuff. Was playing with tuning the E and A strings an octave down and it’s slick.

Quality:
Software…hmmm…well I guess the fit and finish are fine. You have to pay attention that you download all the drivers, latests software as they describe. Get a pad of paper and write it down. It all works, but setup is critical.

Value:
Well it cost me a Variax 500 and a Pod XT Live to get the workbench free. I figured having 28 guitars, all the effects, and the ability to do alternate tunings with a flip of a switch was worth $1000 or so. This is a great gigging rig. Tones of tone options.

Desirability:
You have to look at this as a “rig” and it’s very slick.

Sound:
If you own a XTL you can download it for free to use with your variax. This is the coolest….tone you can dial up to your taste.

Support:
I called them and they got me on track.

Overall:
Really happy now that I can do the alternate tunings and other adjustments. The workbench makes this whole thing a really flexible solution. I worry it will lose it’s mind on a gig…but so far so good. I’ve had my variax since spring of 2004 and the XT Live about 6 months…..now I can really see what it will do.
