Published on 04/05/12 at 23:57The Sonicbytes ERA is a really good mid step sequencer and arp plug in. You can used multiple instruments, I think 12. You can use them in a very unique way that most programs wont allow you to use them in. One thing that really sticks out with this software is that you can use it for live performance and it can do wonders for you. The ERA can hold a bunch of different patterns and each one of them can take up to 15 or 16 different variations.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
I ran it on my dual core running windows vista and it works just fine. I think I maybe had one back crash with it when it froze and I had to do a hard restart (pushing the power button) But besides that it worked fine. I really don’t feel the need for this though because I have other softwares that can do the same thing and some. As I said before, using it live would be the only reason I would use this consistently.
OVERALL OPINION
Overall, for the price of it its worth a try. Just not my cup of tea. Not saying its not good because its very good. I just have so many different software’s and plug ins that do the same as this and allow to do a lot more. So I really don’t have a use for this like I do the other programs. But If I was doing more live stuff I would def. have this in my arsenal and use it a lot. You will have a lot of control over your parameters (velocity, swing, delay and gates) with this software. So if those things are important to you , then you will love this software. Start using it right away, its very easy to set up and start using. No learning curve!
