When you get into it, you can edit it at the micro level. You can change the size, pitch, and timbre of each part of the kit, along with varying the levels of the parts. In addition, you can edit what it elects to play. And there's hundreds of other things to edit.... Plus.... It imports kits from many other drum synths. Even though it's extremely versatile, I had problems with getting a good drum track that was a solid, decent, groove that fit well in the music.

Yeah, there seems to be a little too much to edit. Finding a knob that says "less kick drum" or "more cymbal hits" (like in EZDrummer) would be nice.

There is a "Simple" mode for most of the styles, but it's not quite the same thing.

But each product is "what it is", so to speak, and has to be approached on its own terms.

I suspect that BiaB would be an excellent match for 99% of what I do. But I have a fondness for overly-busy drums... at least when building the tracks in the beginning.

Anyway... You did a good job with it in your song.

I'm glad you liked it!

Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
