Does it have bass sounds to write basslines along with the drumbeat? Thanks

No, this thing has not much functions just simple drum beats. Not much selections of beats either compare to other drum machines. But souns realy good . Its good for when your drumer cant be at practice

Yes, it has a beat sync feature, it's really sketchy though, you have to sync it on beat, but due to that little tick, it sync on the off beat instead of on beat

Yes, but with one catch - If you have the snare and bass drum routed to the same input, you wont be able to hit them at the same time and have them both register. Perhaps if you paired up pads that would be less likely to be hit at the same time... but in my experience, playing drums really doesn't work like that...

Lead and rhythm yes. Not sure about bass as I don't play bass, so I just checked and the good news is YES. Have fun

Depends what kind of outcome you are looking for. I use the bass patterns on this machine to provide a framework for developing lines to play along with the rhythm track. If you are asking this machine to be your stand in bass player that might be a bit cheesy.

I bought this for someone else that actually paid me back. I play drums. From what I heard with a bass plugged in was great and could be heard. He did plug in a guitar and picked for a couple of minutes and that was it. He only uses it for bass. To some people it may look to small to produce good sound but to me it was very good - well built equipment with no bad surprises as far as a bass guitar is plugged in.

Yes, many basic beats, great supplementary percussion or good for being your own rhythm section if you play bass.

What is the purpose? Are you trying to jam along to the track and have the bass line be a perfect loop every time? If that is the case then yes, have him play to a click. If you plug in directly or from a bass amp you can set the sample to start recording when he starts playing, but you will have to manually end the loop at the end of the measure or phrase. Then listen back to it and see how it sounds, if its not perfect you can edit the start/end point of the loop. It can be difficult to get a perfect loop but not impossible. Hopefully that helps!

No it does not. You really don't need it as you can adjust the bass as needed. I love it better than the predecessor.

Yes it does , This is not a drum machine mind you, but a full professional band and i made a lot of recordings with this. .. Good luck and enjoy if you purchase this item it's worth every penny. .

no built-in speaker. you need headphones or some sort of powered monitor. computer speakers work well, especially one with a good subwoofer. if you can help it, don't use a guitar amp, the frequency response isn't flat enough for both bass drum and cymbal crashes. it will work, but it won't be great, except as an effect.there is an audio-in jack to plug an iPod or similar, and you will be able to hear a mix of the audio and the drums through the headphones or line out. very handy for practicing quietly.

Ofcourse it doesn't, it has a single micro driver and it is really bass heavy. that's just my opinion

Well, yes and no: There is a headphone jack, but drumsticks making contact with the drum pads does make some noise. So the short answer might be "yes, mostly."

I plugged mine into an in-ear monitor system that works much like a small mixing board. One of the channels has a click, one channel has the bass drum, one has the bass, etc. By the time the sound got to my ears, it was about a quarter of a beat (or more) off with the rest of the band.

The best what? The best physical interface to use if you're making beats?That's kind of relative. I totally recommend hitting guitar center or Sam Ashe and playing around with what they have to see what feels right for you. Hell, you don't NEED one of these to make beats. I know Skrillex has said in interviews that he's comfortable with his mouse and plotting his drums that way. I don't know if he still does but there's that. Ultimately findingthe method that feels right for you and practicing unti you've got a feel for workflow.

Yes. But the sound is just not good not bad. Too much bass and sound is lacking details.

sorry for the late reply. no drum beats here. you can always go for a zoom or a korg portable multi effects that come with drum patterns, but the effects are not as good as line6 IMHO.
