Firstly there is some kind of bug that allows a pad to stick. Once that happens you cannot proceed, all other button presses thereafter do not respond. The only way out is to long press each pad until the stuck pad releases, which could be any pad and even then it may re-stick. Pioneer Toraiz instruments cannot be reset to factory settings, how foolish is that? What if you want to sell one of them (and you probably will want to do that once you become familiar with their products). There hasn't been an update for several years and it's stuck on 1.1 so it doesn't look like a bug fix is likely in the future and there is NO POINT T ALL contacting tech support.
This brings me to the second major problem that I have discovered - when sending notes to the Toraiz SP-16 you can only send one note at a time and the note comes on two octaves too high and consequently the higher notes land off the scale and are not recorded so you end up entering the notes manually, thus defeating the purpose of owning technology.
Thirdly, the arpeggio's do not conform to the bar length. If your bar is 16 steps the arp can be ANY amount of steps, from 8 - 24 (especially if you use the harmoniser in conjunction with the arpeggiator whilst playing). This is not useful and all my other equipment with randomisers and arpeggiators do not do this.
Fourthly, why am I even sending sequences to the Toraiz SP-16? Good question, considering the Squid is supposed to be a dedicated, specialist sequncer but the SP-16 can do things it cannot, such as pitch bend individual notes so I can MANUALLY MODIFY EACH NOTE so that my music can be in Pythagorean temperament, microtonal being something neither machine can do automatically.
I've only owned it a few months and things are already looking grim. Caveat emptor!
