Beatstation - Toontrack
Sometimes when you are in a hurry to get an idea started some virtual instruments can look a little daunting. Not so with Beatstation. In a remarkably simple user interface, it manages to pack in drum pads linked to a flexible layered sample player, a REX file player, a MIDI groove library, a bassline sample player and a lead or chordal sample player.

The REX player/editor allows even greater flexibility for your sonic manipulations as you can take any slice from one of the many REX files and use them as samples in your pads. If you like one of the pre-programmed MIDI grooves, you can drag it straight from the browser, use it as it is, or edit it.

I can see myself using Beatstation in plenty of situations where I need to work quickly, knowing that once the basics are done I can get in there and manipulate the sound further to a standard I would expect of virtual instruments costing considerably more. A bargain!
