I bought a used one a little while back - because I wanted to try it out and I found one at a price where I knew I could re-sell it easily. I fiddled around with it periodically, and it was fun, and with my limited skills I could do something that sounded reasonably musical with it. But - a. No proper MIDI implementation and b. I found the synth engines very frustrating.

On the other hand, using it as a way to add backing to my sax playing, and record my sax onto the device was fun.

But I got rid of it, and bought a used organellem and plenty of change left over (with which I might buy a proper sequencer at some point, but maybe not).

I've currently got a Novation Circuit which I bought on the same idea. Because I play a lot of acoustic music the circuit seems definitely not for me, but again it's kind of fun and has a nice shallow learning curve.
