    So is anyone enjoying this now? So far the only threads I've seen are closed, whiny or unrelated to anything about the content, quality, etc.

    Can we discuss that? :)

    gave it a quick listen through...very much club orientated...some nice basses and kicks in there...not sure about the loops, hope thats not going to be a staple

    but so far sounds great...Im happy :)

    Could you elaborate on the loops......do you mean the midi parts that accompany the kits?

    Just got it installed. Initial impression is that the sounds are decent, not spectacular.

    The dry samples are clean and nothing special for the most part, but what makes the sounds pretty good is the careful effects applied to many of them. A lot of nice snares and claps with long reverb and delays. The kits are well put together it seems and while many use similar sounds, there are some surprises. I found a couple kits that are going to be very useful.

    Overall so far I am liking it, but I am not sure I am as happy with it yet as I was with Transistor Rhythm and Transistor Punch. Won't know for sure until I have a little more time.

    no, theres actually some audio loops in the pack...not many, and theres plenty of kits instruments etc but I hope loops are a one off...

    So one happy vote, one not sure yet and nothing else? Should I add some controversy to get opinions?

    Or......maybe peeps are just out using it :D

    HEY GUYS dont forget that while you have the sounds, patterns, kits, you also have the multi FX to use any where else in your other work, dont make the mistake of forgetting them.

    645576 eluded to above they are making the dry sounds so much better - hence they will do the same to your other samples, and the fx will also serve as a great reference tool to creating your own chained fx ;-)

    That sounds cool. Wish I had a visual on that. I know, it's cheap not to just "plunk" but I just feel that there should be more buzzzzzzz about how it sounds and what peeps are using it for. Maybe it's just because of the unfortunate dl/install problems. I just thought there would be more people talking about it.
