After a couple of weeks of teasing, Toontrack Music has now announced the birth of BeatStation........
Following the feature requests of current Toontrack users, BeatStation provides an open interface to create your own personalised sound-set, harnessing the power of percussion samples as well as melodic instruments all in one instrument.
BeatStation is a stand-alone and/or VST, AU, RTAS compatible virtual instrument, for Mac and Windows. It plays percussion pads, lead instruments and melodic bass. It's got a skinnable open playing surface, it can record samples and supports external samples, MIDI Grooves and REX files. The BeatStation expansion format (BTX) contains high end sampled drum, percussion, bass and lead instruments with MIDI and REX files.
It will be on the market in June 2010. Until then, Toontrack will continue to provide videos and tutorials showing the product's potential. Keep up with it here. (The introductory video on there at the moment is a bit crap but I'm guessing more informative and detailed ones will be put up in due course).
