User reviews

Hat ein paar Jährchen auf dem Buckel…

…und immer noch keine Alterserscheinungen zu spüren.
Mein absoluter Favorit von Sugar Bytes!!!

Increíble groovebox o groovesampler

Es una máquina para crear ritmos muy sofisticados con tres pistas puedes hacer grandes cosas y aquí está muy demostrado. Parecen como 16 pistas cuando haces una canción aquí pero en realidad son tres instrumentos con muchos efectos muy bien elegidos y bien articulados con herramientas para diseño de sonidos, si es necesario gran aplicación

Klasse Schnippselwerkzeug

Macht nach wie vor Laune damit rumzuspielen und in kurzer Zeit inspirierende Ergebnisse zu haben.

Wie alles von Suger Bytes; top!

(Vielleicht kommt ja mal ne Version 2 von Egoist - würde mich freuen …)

Still hot! 🥵

It’s a fun app to just throw an audio clip into and let it do its thing!

とりあえず触ってみてグッときました

はじめて開いてみたところ、要素レイアウトが好みで、とくに、最下段のpatternとpartなどがメカニカルボタン風に並んでいるところをハブに、他の機能の特徴をつかんでいきたいと考えているところです。
こういう製品では一般に、そう長くない秒数のサンプルを扱うのが普通なのでしょうか? 他のシンセとシーケンサで(でも緩く)組んだような、曲のいちパートをまるまるを読み込ませて、anleton liveでのセッションモードのような、演奏の長さや展開を固めきらないままで演奏に臨むことにも活用出来そうでしょうか?まずはそのあたりを探ってみたいと考えているところです。
