Just got mine yesterday and played it for the first time! Had a lot of fun sequencing the start and length parameters. I quickly got groovy patterns, and then it also has a quirkiness where it naturally introduces slight variations which sounds cool. (Without external sequencer it's steady, of course.)
I also like how you can start/stop the action with the Loop button, and right next to that is the Monitor on/off button – so you can easily switch from the live audio to a sampled loop, e.g. one you just sampled 1 sec ago. You can perform it like a rhythmic infinite delay.
Unfortunately, it does have noticeable latency, already on live audio throughput. Didn't measure how much, but I play house music and it offsets my hihat loops enough to sound sloppy. Latency also translates to the sampled audio. I didn't mind for less tight content, like vocals and synths, but for live drums, this could become a dealbreaker for me. Still figuring out if there's a good way to deal with it, because it's a lot of fun too.
