due to a dodgy installer disk and a rather slow response from MOTU (yes i know - moan moan) i have had to wait about 6 weeks for a new UVI Beat Box Anthology installer to arrive. took another mind bending exercise to install it ...

BUT

its working now and i must say it is fanstastic !!! :D
its is the holy grail of old school beatboxes. :shock:
amazing sound quality! :lol:

so there you go.
well done MOTU, well done BPM, well done UVI.

merry christmas! :woohoo:

Yeah, I really like it. Got some bad early reviews because of how the drum kits where assembled but they fixed that with the BPM 1.5 content. Quality sounds for sure.

yeah i had to email UVI to ask where the patterns and loops were (if anyone's reading this and doesn't know you click the 'star' section under kit/pattern/loop etc in BPM browser and select Beat Box Anthology) but when i found out how to access it all properly it was fine.

doesn't come with a manual for some reason - you can get it off the UVI site here http://www.uvisoundsource.com/drums-and ... ucts_id/53

its not essential but it does have pictures and some info about all the drum machines they sampled so if you like that sort of thing, as i do, then its an essential! don't know why its not on the installer.

nearly all the samples sound great. the only one that stands out as sounding a bit lame is the roland CR-8000 (called the R8000 in bpm i think). sounds like they got a slightly dodgy machine! i've had two of these and what they have is not so good. but nevermind, the rest sound excellent. :D
