"Hi I'm Scott with Expert Village and right now we are talking about this particular machine as opposed to other machines, other beat boxes. It depends on what type of musician that you are and what you are looking for. This particular one is for a composer, it has a full orchestra inside of it. Some of them don't some of them have just drums. This one has drums, bass, guitar, piano, violins and everything else. Let me give you an example on here you got play, stop, here it will take you back to the top of the song if your recording, it also has the ability to record. As your playing you've got introductions, you've got beat A, beat B, and then you've got fills, fills that take you to A, fills that take you to B, I'll explain how this works right now. We're playing the song now, and that?s the intro. We're going to go right into the main section, that?s A, here's B, here's the fill, and of course we have endings. Almost all of your rhythm machine beat boxes are going to have these features, and it also has a volume control, and that?s how you fade out."
