Install without any problems, if only to have XP or 2000 (I'm a PC, with 98 it does not ...), and a DVD player (I do not resort to my music, I had pass network with a laptop and no problems).
Simple registration process (code) and unconstrained (no need for a dongle or other key).
Manuel very clear limits so little use the app is organized as expected.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

So P4 2.4Ghz with 512MB RAM, stand alone or in Logic 5, no problem (note that I always had a version of Logic 4.8 installed, then it does not pass, soft forces designed for Win 98) ... I also opened seamlessly with Fruity Loops, but ...
I just have it so I have not yet grown up to something muscular level VSTI arrangements. But I am confident I have the DR008 from the same brand, very light. And the little that I see is stable.

OVERALL OPINION

Therefore used for a week, after testing the demo I went to buy it in stride, almost running ...
I'll let you see the AF test for details and options. Ls This is also the fault to test if I took it, well, thank you AF for my wallet: o)

For my part I find it incredible flexibility, excellent: he feeds his samples, they are editing in live, are programmed patterns, they sequence with the sequencer ... and all this while the song turns .. . hell it's simple! Finally an app with which I am not stuck on the prog, it's really intuitive, fast and well done for. I tested all kinds of config, drum hardware (tr707, roland r8, Machinedrum) to soft (dr008 + pianoroll, fruity loops) through I play the keyboard or pad to requantiser ... Here I am really comfortable, to concentrate on creating music and unbridled.

Note that it is provided 4 gigabytes of samples, I did not come ... I have mine, my favorite ... but hey, what to do in any case ...

Finally a small note: the app is young, he has, it seems, some bugs of youth, that we discover by browsing the forum active and reactive FXpansion. Which suggests a good evolution of this soft, with an active community already heard by the developers ... (have a history of updates).

[edit 20 April 2007]
I drop a point, I find it lacks one feature: a song in fruity loops mode, it breaks up having enchainer pianoroll patterns via the sequencer, not as flexible ... strongly Version Next ...
