I bought the SP mainly for live shows, since the effects are pretty amazing.
It handles quite well, the knobs have very good quality and the device itself feels really well built.
I have tried beat making with it, but it takes time and patience to get into if you are coming from a DAW.
But for now, and for the purpose that I use it, I'm happy with it.
If you are playing live, it does it's charm, but I would recommend pairing it with a Maschine+ maybe
Overall, excellent product.
