Installation is no problem it?

Installation was no problem Droulez. I was careful to install the driver for cl-Piracy iLok protection. I read somewhere that advice and the installation DVD there was actually a folder called "INSTALL FIRST". I do not know if this has a tural importance, but be careful.

OVERALL OPINION

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

I am familiar with Reason 4.0, and Guru. In three cases (Reason, Guru, and BPM), it is possible to arrive in good rsultats trs at the composition of East beat "hip hop", "electro" or "street". Even if in any case, anything is possible, I would say that BPM is more of the same East "hip hop" (the formulation SP-1200, sound banks and some features) and Reason Guru and will be more easily used in a porduction "electro", including their role as "randomization" (risky GNR composition by software) more grows in BPM.

- However, Reason (especially coupled Record) offers more than BPM Contents of flexibility and capacity to do everything. BPM, however, offers a sampler + bote rate environment much more ergonomic than Reason.

- As for Guru, trs little Difference BPM. I strongly advise anyone for whom the budget is too tight to acqurir BPM. Guru did everything BPM fact, some even more easily. This encoding method can not be impressed by the look more "marketing" of BPM. Guru is a solid program!

What is the particular feature you like best and least?

+ Intuitive, easy to use (just need to flip through the manual)
+ Sound banks and patterns
+ + Accumulation in SP-1200 gives a color IMMEDIATE "old school" beats you.

- The iLok dongle! (Even a USB stick!)
- A button UNDO / REDO to do and all dfaire opration made on the machine
- The sound of the instruments supplied with the machine that are not terrible
- A single grid groove for all engines
- Quantize function is "too" strict (I like to quantize 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90% of the value Defines. Here it is 100% or nothing)

How do you report qualitprix?

- Relatively expensive, but worth its weight in silver. In other words, about a professional product at current market prices.

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...

I am conscious of having to buy it for a little luxury. I dj all I need home (Reason 4 & Guru). Being passionate about what kind of product, I'm pleased, and that's it. At first glance, so I have no regrets for purchasing this product. In less than half an hour, I had a big-beat dja which turned on its squenceur. Me who loves hip-hop of the beginning of the 1990's, I served with the product! The function SP-1200 gives a color Old school all convincing!

10/10 PLATINUM AWARD! As said, the magazine of references FutureMusic!
