Some features include: * Standard wave audio files are used instead of MIDI for realistic sounds and on-the-fly effects and filtering * 32-bit audio buffer used in mixing and filtering for higher quality results * Powerful filter plug-in system (similar in concept to the one found in Adobe Photoshop) allows others to develop filters and effects for use in the program * Beat-based design focuses on timing and is ideal for developing music for such genres as electronica, rap, industrial, house/dance/acid, trance, experimental, and other styles * Configurable tempo settings allow the user to understand sound timing in order to meet specific needs * Supports 48 to 800 beats per minute and each page has its own tempo setting * Projects are divided into 64 Beat Design pages that can be mixed together when the final wave file is processed allowing users to better organize groups of sounds or sections of a song * Each Beat Design page contains 16 tracks representing different wave files (samples) and each track has 32 configurable beats * Filter plug-ins can be applied individually to a whole page, an individual track (the sound that will be used for each beat), or a single beat * Import and export ability allows a user to copy and paste pages, track settings, and beat settings within the same project or amongst other projects * Preview ability allows a user to quickly test filters and effects on an individual page, track, or beat * Friendly windows-based environment for quicker development and simpler overall use * All wave files generated using this product can be used for any purpose, royalty-free ----- Trial Version The trial version of this product may be distributed freely to others as long as nothing is altered or removed.
