Not that I like Bill Gates (who's name when added up by it's ascii values equates to 666) but still.. it's fusterating because this is really the best thing I see out there for internet audio and there is no pc version. Furthermore beatnik has alot of really annoying quirks,... such as it tends to fuck up when under pressure (i.e. if lots of notes in quick sequence hit it at once it starts to clip) Also beatnik has no float function, and the play, stop, and pause controls aren't even present on the face, you have to right click on the damn thing and select "Song Mode" just so you can get the play, stop and pause function (with no volume control.. which personally I don't care *too* much about anyways, the only thing I ever would use such a device for is to turn the volume all the way up if it was not already at max) Bottom line, beatnik has alot of potential.. if only it was made by more intuitive people... ~The guy that says fuck you Kid66606 you dirty piece of rat poop
