(grin) The manual is clearly written, and if there is a bit too much “see chapter 3-5, p. No more switching from one window to another! And you can actually learn about the software without a computer present! This kind of innovation in documentation is one that more manufacturers should consider.

It’s absolutely serious competition for Kontakt5, EXS24, or any of the other flagship samplers out there.įirst of all in the features list is – ta dah! – a printed manual. Suffice it to say that the software is a highly efficient, pretty easy to learn BEAST, and it really can lay a claim to be just about the only sampler/synth that you would need. It’s a strong contender for the number one slot, but in the software world, things change so rapidly, I don’t want to make predictions like that. The update was more of a complete makeover, and the dozens of new features that have been added catapult it into the position of the top three or four software samplers available today.
