Nepheton's interface is clearly inspired by that of the Roland TR-808.

4 of 5

Pros

Accurate sound. Fun to play with. Loads of sequencer modes. More control than a real TR-808. Can save patterns and sounds separately.

Cons

Not particularly flexible.

The bottom line

If 808 sounds are your bag, you'll go crazy for Nepheton. Just don't expect much else from it.
