The Dao is a really cool box to work with. At first it felt a bit underwhelming like a simple sampler, but it is flexible. I use it a lot in combination with different synths and efx then use a loopbox after to get multiple layers. Very nice that it is so easy to change the tempo and pattern in realtime. Only hate that they have closed shop since they made a lot of other stuff that seemed interesting, but had not enough cash at the time. Made a big order but had to back out of it and they was very understanding. Seems like good folks.
