I have the software version without the controller, you are limited to the 30 or so tweakable classic drum machine sounds, so can't add your own samples and no drum modeled kits. 

The sound is amazing, the combo of analog and digital sampled drums is great. The software interface is annoying to me. It's too graphicy and slow, why do I want it to look like a hardware controller? I wanted the controller and the full software version but it doesn't seem to really be that much of an improvement for the cost. This new one looks ok and is cheaper but...

Everyone remember Push? Right now I am making my sounds in spark and then routing out the audio to multiple channels and using ableton clips/tracks to sequence the drums. Much faster and easier. Push may just be the controller I need, instead of getting the arturia controller. So I'm going to wait for now.

I am very overly demanding of control over my drums so SPARKle may be just great for you Gert... and truth be told I will probably wind up getting it.

Push looks to be more than the sum of its parts, watching this video I thought, this is the thing that's going to finally replace the keyboard controller.
