The bassist in my old band used to have one of these before we upgraded to a Presonus FirePod.

It was pretty cool, but the Korg my other friend has produces WAY better recordings, but is also about a grand more

this is great for people who don't want to bother with a computer too much - and thats the kind of thing that would be perfect for practices

this one doesn't but i've seen many that do... i'd personally want the one with the hard drive because often the ones with the cd don't have space other than memory cards... but i could be wrong on that

ahhh ok i wasn't sure if this one did or not but yeah it seems the harddrive would be a better bet
