BKE Tech Beat Thang (RARE DEVICE IN Not WorkingCondition).

See a Orange light but no power on...selling as is....unit is fixable- my loss your gain....this rare and will sell

Great restoration project

This is a great condition sampler/groove box unit. I wish I could keep it, but I am in the process of downsizing my studio after moving, and I have no additional room for it. Gently used exclusively in a smoke free studio, this unit has performed for me exactly how the developers programed to perform, and the hardware is virtually flawless. The ports, pads, wheels, and knobs have all been thoroughly tested, and I must say the pad feel and response is the best of any drum machine unit I have ever tried (including Korg, Akai, Novation, and many more). It has been updated to the newest available software version, and although imperfect operation might occur due to underdevelopment by the manufacturer when one is working with demanding projects, I have made many beats with this unit, and the ideology behind its workflow is unmatched for sparking creativity and getting a groove going quickly. Also, the included sounds and instruments are very high quality, and they can give you a professional sound with very minimal processing necessary. 

The device is being sold as is, and the box includes the power cable for the unit. No other boxes included in the package have items inside, they are only being used for package integrity for when the box is shipped. Finally, the package that will be shipped was photographed and sealed just after, and it will not be opened again until it is opened by you!!! 

Below I have copy and pasted some additional information about the unit from an official specification site.

One of the easiest ways to create grooves and electronic music

The basic concept behind the Beat Thang is to make sample-based electronic music production as simple and and intuitive as possible. That's why BKE Tech designed it so that nearly every function has its own button or pad - forget about navigating through endless submenus! Even if you've never tried producing music before, you'll find creating beats and grooves with Beat Thang fun and easy. But don't confuse simple with limited - Beat Thang has serious horsepower under the hood. This incredibly sophisticated beat machine gives you all of the layering, slicing, sampling, and sound-creation tools you need to make fully polished tracks. And thanks to its rechargeable lithium-ion battery, you can even use the Beat Thang to make music on the go.

Loaded with amazing sounds from the world's top electronic music producers

Great tracks start with great samples. That's why BKE Tech loaded the Beat Thang with a collection of top-of-the-line samples, from funk guitars to award-winning keyboard licks, plus all of the drum sounds you could ever ask for. With its chromatic keyboard pad and side-mounted pitch shift and modulation wheels, it's easy to see that the Beat Thang was made to give you more musical control over your sounds than a typical groove workstation. Add to that on-screen waveform editing, a powerful Autochop function, and over 60 on-board effects, and it clear to see that no sound is out of reach for the Beat Thang!

Flexible I/O provides integration with all of your studio gear

Extensive I/O that's designed to be extremely flexible lets you use your Beat Thang in a variety of fun and creative ways. In addition to an XLR combo jack that lets you sample and record directly on the Beat Thang, it also comes equipped with MIDI for use with external controllers and sound modules. Want to load up your favorite samples? No problem, just connect your external hard drive via USB or load up your samples in one of the Beat Thang's SDHC slots.
