Beatstation - Toontrack

You might be thinking that Beatstation is very much a beginners’ tool, but if you look below the surface, it’s surprisingly capable. Open a pad’s Properties window and you’ll find some fairly powerful sound design features – up to five samples can be layered one ach pad simply by dragging and dropping and each layer can be tweaked individually. The likes of volume, ADSR, pan and pitch can be adjusted, and there are reverse and offset options, making it quick and easy to build up layered sounds. There’s no dedicated filtering or EQ, but you get one insert effect slot per pad, for which EQ/filters are an option. In standalone mode, you can record your samples via the built-in recorder.

Then there’s that REX file player. As well as being able to play back REX files, you can also drag a complete REX file onto a pad, or just a slice from it. So, if you just want to use one hit from a loop in your drum kit, it’s easy to get at it.

Verdict: More flexible that it seems at first loop, Beatstation will appeal to those who want to create drum kits and grooves in a hurry.
