Trouble free installation.
Some very minor bugs at times (bad patches that are responsible and must restart, but it poses no problem too).
Manual very clear, in French.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

It works on simple configs. No need to have a Bécanne art. It works on all the sequencers I've tried.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it really often. I start with the negatives, as it's done:
The thing I blame is the lack of consistency between the spirit of the product and what it is in the end. It's supposed to be a tool to place the rhythm guitar in your compositions, and hence be chameleon. The problem is that half of the rhythmic patterns are proposed or phrases typed hyper and hyper connotations. For example there are very specific patterns counrty. Either you use it in the country and in this case soon after you arrive and you can not do without a dedicated guitarist, it is to do a western film music, and it does not go beyond the cliché (dobro slides on the image of the saloon, etc..) Ditto for the melodic phrases: too limited in their style and they are recognized immediately when it went around (just as we recognize the melodies Reason found in many movies ... I will not name ...) In fact they would have to focus on styles easier to integrate everywhere. Quite a basic rhythm guitar missing, but they can reproduce manually (see below)
Even some critics: not easy to manage noon: the rhythmic Going from the midi note, so when we read the file must start early. The agreements are not recognized easily live, but after quantization, there is no problem. Finally, the effects section is really not great, but it can make its own effects instead.
I come to praise:
The sound is absolutely fatal. The nature of the game is particularly good. Attention even when not abused, it ends up being too clean! But we can use lots of variations and breaks to break the smooth side. There's even a feature to make the game less in place and more realistic. There are lots of parameters égalenent very useful at the stereo.
Finally something really great is that it is very flexible: you can change the groove of each pattern at will, save her own groove, and you can manually create the rhythm part fully as you want. Be careful though, it's not obvious, and the slices are placed on the keyboard anyway, means you need to prepare your shot.
Finally I would say it's the app that is still used, even if you have a guitar at hand it is always convenient to put such a runway mishap reggae (fatal, those!) In 2 seconds comp. You will not even need to reregister as the sound is good and natural play.
