I agree completely with this. I have a Future Retro 777, but if I
didn't I'd consider this one as that's a good price. It's the 303 I
always wanted, but with a synth engine that's simply much more
powerful, and with a much more flexible sequencer.
I spent years looking for one at a reasonable price but was
unsuccessful. So around maybe a year ago I went out and bought a FR
Revolution. It's awesome, I love it, but I lucked into a 777 a few
months later and now the Revolution is sitting in it's box, waiting
for someone to buy it. In some ways, the Revolution's software has
some interesting things that the 777 doesn't have, but the 777 has the
synth engine.
Don't let this 777 sit in a closet!
