(obv depending on the user but) it really is. 404 is easily not the deepest device. what it can do is very apparent. terrible roland menu diving and key combos don’t make it deep, just impractical.
it’s a different canvas that forces you to have a different approach, i give credit to that. i owned one for about a year, and it felt just… tedious. sold it to get a syntakt, which made sense during that time. but now i sold my syntakt to get an M8 lol
