BeatBox 2 plus
Note: BeatBox 2 replaces the older BeatBox from previous versions
and is not compatible with them. Please read the notes for users of
older Samplitude 11 Producer versions.
BeatBox 2 is a 16-voice drum computer with hybrid sound synthesis
and a step sequencer. The proven handling concepts of the "old"
BeatBox like matrix programming with auto copy have been
expanded with comfortable editing of velocities and significantly
improved sound synthesis, including a multi-effects section (one
effect per drum instrument).
A drum sound is created in BeatBox 2 using a sample (analogously to
the old BeatBox) which is combined with a synthetic sound that can
be created using up to three different synthesis models (hybrid sound
synthesis). BeatBox 2 plus enables detailed editing and automation of
all sound parameters.
There are two styles of interface in BeatBox 2. While closed, you can
listen to included sounds or those you've made in BeatBox 2 without
using too much window space.
Only the most important control elements are displayed when the
program window is minimized.
Volume controller: Controls the volume.
Peakmeter and preset name: The peakmeter lets you visually
control BeatBox 2. Click on the triangle beside the preset name
to open the preset list.
Next/Previous preset
Save preset: The preset includes the drum kit in use, the
pattern, and any possible automations (see page 246).
Play/Stop: The playback controller in BeatBox 2 starts BeatBox
without playing the arrangement, too.
