SONiVOX Releases Playa

Playa is designed for quick and easy sequencing, beat construction, and hands-on remixing.

Playa’s user interface is designed to bridge the gap between MPC style beat creation and the computer based virtual instrument environment. Playa allows users to interface their MIDI pad controllers and controller keyboards directly with the software.
