does it have a bossa nova beat?

Yes! It has over 400 rhythms with room for 499 or so.. It has rock, hard rock, jazz, blues, Latin, Reggae and African beats. It is challenging to get the Bass to play in something other than E Maj. If you want to play in min keys, you need to write the bass part yourself. I find the rhythms a little busy, so I edit them and save them to another location. Building rhythms is easy and with the FAST write mode you can string the rythyms together to make songs. It has 99 spaces for songs. There is a limit to it's memory but I have not hit it yet. AGAIN playing in any Key but E Maj can be frustrating and time consuming. I haven't found a short cut yet, although I am sure there is one. The instruction manual is 99 pages long and not everything about it is intuitive. Take an hour and read the manual (you have to down load it). It will save you weeks of banging your head... I forgot to tell you that it has different qualities of rhythms. You can leave it were it is which is good, or you can make the sample time faster. Faster sample time means less memory. It also has a swing setting, so if you are doing jazz you can adjust the "swing".

No, but it is a very nice little player. Gets excellent radio reception. Simple, basic and easy to use. I really love mine.

Mine didn't, but I already had it. Check with Native Instruments. They do run specials where they give it away for free. When you buy and register their hardware.

The proper question would be "does it have any bass" the answer is absolutely not :(

yes it does I don't have the kit anymore. It has Latin voice cartoon sounds African steel drums echo reverb bongos and I think it has 10 custom sets that you can program your self like I said it does have a lot of different sounds.

No. As I remember it plays about 12 popular tunes. It is at my grand daughter's. She is 5 and loves it. She has had it for a year.

I do not believe it does. I wish I could tell you for sure but I just had to send mine back as the cd player does not work.

No, it's on a programmed rhythm slow, medium, fast. It says rock, jazz, rap, but it is not programmed to the beat of the individual song.
2053457
yes it does, except for the bass pedal. I honestly would say this is just one below the roland kits and better than the rest.

No it only plays with their software, cd included. It has a mini SD card that you insert into an adapter which plugs into a USB port.

The one I have doesn't respond to the beat of the music. However, I enjoy it. I also have a USB "glitter" lamp.

Yes, it does, however I would recommend getting Rocksmith 2014 and this title them importing the songs.
