For example, typing “b-a-s-s” to find bass sounds or “s-n-a-r-e” to find different snares. We are accustomed to searching with a keyboard. With the ease of scrolling through searching for songs with the data wheel and cursor knob, also comes the difficulty in finding exactly what you need. They speak in layman’s and go slowly which for a “noob” is nice to see and helpful. None of the hosts use engineering language or make assumptions that the user is very sophisticated. On top of this, I found the online tutorials to be thorough yet easy to follow. It allows you to bring it outside or wherever you have speakers or headphones. It has a Rechargeable internal battery which extenuates the portability of the system. The Beat Thang on the other hand? Only 20 pages long!
Beat thang software manuals#
I’ve seen other beat machines manuals they are about the same size as the Bible. It’s definitely one thing they did right, you can easily find and read exactly what you are looking to learn.
Beat thang software manual#
The instruction manual is very simple and short. You don’t have to push them too hard but they are sensitive enough to recognize when you are trying to get a certain volume of sound. The buttons and controls are efficiently arranged. The layout of the buttons makes a lot of sense for doing bass-lines and riffs. While other beat machines cater to a dance, house, or electro producer, the Beat Thang is clearly made for a hip hop head. For people like me who are accustomed to this organization, it is helpful to select my sounds in this familiar format rather than cycle through them using a knob on the device. The only notable difference we found is from within the software you can choose what patterns, kits, sounds, and songs using a folder-style set up at the left side of your screen. The advantage to this is that once you get used to using Beat Thing hardware, there is no learning curve needed to use the software and vice versa. You can use your mouse to navigate each button and knob on the device and the sounds and kits load instantly – whereas when doing this on the actual device there can be 1 or 2 seconds of load time. Essentially the Beat Thang software gives you a “virtual device” on your computer that you can use to make beats rather than tapping on the actual device itself. We found installation to be simple and the program ran fast on a relatively new computer. The Beat Thang comes with a program that allows you to craft beats on the computer. You can also import new sounds and kits from your computer. Once you have crafted your beat you can export it to your computer via the included USB wire or save it to a SD card.
These allow you to tweek the sound output as you are tapping on the pads.
Beat thang software mod#
One of the most unique features of the unit is inclusion of mod and pitch wheels on either side of the unit.
