NEW BEATKANGZ

I'll do a video for you guys showing the filter options....

look for it tonight.

Cheers. Appreciate it.

Also, I'm interested to know how easy it is to move around and manipulate sequencer data once it's recorded. For instance, is it easy to change the placement of a note, change pitch, change the note duration, etc?

G4s

As far as I can tell, there is a low pass on each pad, and selectable filters on each track. You can get it done with this setup really, I just wish there were different filters on each pad but they sound pretty good.

im surprised no one else has complained about not being able to tune kits/samples while the beat/pattern is playing.. Am I the only one that works like this??????????????

I think that ability will come with the step sequencer update...I would imagine this would be the only way to accomplish it, right now it's all real time, no grid or anything...but that's supposed to change as well.

so what are you using with your beat kang virtual? an MPD controller? usb keys?

because for real time using a mouse to hit in your sounds would be like using an mpc with only one pad.

I'm using a Korg Micro X to trigger the sounds, but I've messed a little bit with using the computer keys to input notes, and if someone didn't have a midi controller they could get by using that method, although it's not ideal for any type of dynamic playing obviously.

Inflict makes up a very good point... that is extremely annoying.

heck naw lol hahaha...I'm using my emu xboard to input my stuff...lol, real time with a mouse would be horrible!

the computer keys aren't bad, they are laid out right, but I don't get down with those...I just use my keyboard...I may hook up my mpc too it when I get it back in the lab...

or an mpd...or just wait for the beat thang and hook that up!

Who is using this program on PC and who is using it on Mac? I'm using it on Mac and I've only come across one replicable bug that causes a crash. Other than that I haven't run into any major problems There are two big things I'd like to see added off the bat, one is the ability to change the tempo into integer numbers like 100.3bpm instead of just 100bpm or 101bpm, and the other is a step sequencer/piano roll where I can move notes off the grid a bit and change the duration of notes in a midi editor.

thank you!!, yea, it is so annoying i have had to stop using it, i feel like im wasting my time, i will pick the thang back up when the update comes out..

yo, i am using a pc and ive come across one bug that i can replicate and a few i can, I think the app runs better on a mac... sometimes it tends to just crash, and that would be terrible if you were using it in a live performance...

i'm sure you not the only one, but I've never...ever...worked like that lol...but I know many that do.

I talked to them about that...they said it's in the plans...

we still must remember this is version 1.0...I'm anxious, because i already like it, but had a few suggestions and such...and if they listen to their users like they say they will....well....it's gonna be crazy.

of course I know they will add what the majority requests...not just what one or two peeps think is needed...they'd forever be adding things for every user lol.

here's the video, someone said it earlier, basic filter at the pad/layer level and main filters on each track...

pretty flexible...it can only get better

beat thang virtual filter section

^^^^^^ok so looks like you cant adjust filters for each pad while the pattern/beat is playing either, whats the deal with this?? isnt it normal to have ur beat playing while you are making adjustments so you can get ur sound just right?? I really wish the would have brought me on as a beta tester... when a sound guy is doing his adjusting the music is going isnt it? I really hope they fix all this, this is terrible work flow for me, i'm just sitting and waiting to use this software
