Rockstar Games,
the people behind Grand Theft Audio, have turned their attention to
music with a free 8-track looping application built entirely in Flash,
free for online use. Beaterator features:
- 8-track / 240-bar sequencing from anywhere with an Internet connection, free
- Built-in stock sound bank from the likes of Matthew Dear (or upload your own loops)
- Loop Crafter for pattern sequencing
- 2-octave on-screen keyboard
- Built-in Effects Bank
- MP3 saving and online storage
- Mac/PC-compatible
Serious tool? No, of course not. Great fun? Absolutely. Unbelievable use of Flash? Claro!
