I like it a lot. I miss my sp606 a little bit, not being able to join in battles here kind of sucks, but I wouldn't trade my MV for the world.

I'm still learning a lot at the moment about the machine, so I obviously haven't found out about all tricks yet, however it's not very tricky to learn.

It's quite easy to pick up and you will figure out a reasonably fast work-flow in almost no time (as in a work-flow comparable to what I used to do on my SP-606, which basically boils down to no noticeable change in work-flow and time it takes me to make beats.).

The way the machine works makes a lot of sense in my opinion. I haven't actually read the manual a lot yet.. something that's still on my to-do list. But I'm usually learning faster the hard way of just trying out and doing things. Well, as I'm not at all frustrated about this process yet, I can not conclude other than to say that it's really easy to get into!

Yeah, I've also heard about people having difficulties with it, but they usually have problems because they're stuck in thinking of the MV as if it's an 'mpc'. It's more obvious than it sounds, but the mv is not an mpc. I'm inclined to say that it's more than an mpc, but regardless of features and so on, it works slightly different even though you can actually do the same on the MV.

So yeah, to end this little rant of how it went so far, I've had little problems learning the device and there's still a lot to discover!! This machine is huge though, there's a lot possible.

Man I don't think anyone can honestly claim to know this machine inside out in just a few months. Ironically, some of the people that complained about the MV apparently 'did' know the machine inside out.

Anyways, yeah go cop one if you've got the money, it's definitely worth it. I had to work and also sell my Kaoss Pad 3, SP-606 and some more stuff to be able to get it, but it was totally totally worth it!
