Kinetic's main, and only, screen, in its Edit All mode. The drum pattern illustrated in the middle is shown in Advanced Editor mode, and shows velocity data as shaded columns behind drum hits. With pattern-based sequencing, plenty of presets and a powerful analogue-style synth, Cakewalk's affordable soft studio package could be a valuable compositional tool.

His official debut album, Tim’s Bio: Life from da Bassment, didn’t exactly prove he was a dope MC in the vain of his partner in rhyme Missy Elliott, but it really let us know that this guy knows production like his life depended on it. Missy elliott discography torrent.

It would be really easy to think of Kinetic, Cakewalk's new loop-based software studio, as a cut-down version of their established (see SOS June 2003). True, it borrows a couple of features and has some effects processing in common, but in releasing the new sub-£100 product, Cakewalk are aiming for a different market.

Initially, the target would appear to be unschooled music enthusiasts who might get a kick out of mixing and matching the hundreds of MIDI and audio loops that are bundled with Kinetic. But Cakewalk are craftier than that. The software might be marketed as a fast and easy way for anyone to create electronic music on their PC — and Kinetic is PC-only — but its life doesn't end at recycling the (admittedly good) preset loops.

Cakewalk's own marketing says 'even if you have no musical background, it's a snap to get started making tracks', but if you want to go further, or if you don't want to use the factory material at all, Kinetic will still oblige. Integration is the name of Kinetic 's game. Pattern-based sequencing, sound creation, effects processing, mixing and automation are all pretty much available on one level. There are also limits to what the software offers and to what it will do, but these limits, combined with the integration, result in a comfortable, easily comprehensible composition and sound-design environment. And that environment is expandable: Kinetic is compatible with most Direct X plug-in effects, and will function as a Rewire slave in a similarly equipped host application.

One of the limits of the software appears to be, initially, in the sound-generation department. There are two synths on board, plus the Groove Player Engine, which plays back WAV or Acid-format audio files (the latter capable of following tempo changes). One synth, PSyn, is a fine modelling analogue synth inherited from Project 5. Groovesynth is the other, amazingly providing the sampled sonic guts of a Roland Groovebox instrument — fruit, no doubt, of Roland's 'interest' in Cakewalk, and their development work together.

Groovesynth, which appears to be roughly equivalent to an MC303, comes equipped with 400 patches (238 Groovebox MIDI loops are also on board), and is the source of Kinetic 's drum sounds. When a drum kit is selected, Groovesynth even changes colour! Trying to tweeze apart Kinetic 's elements is an interesting process, and it's hard to know where to start. First of all, we have to adopt Cakewalk's nomenclature; like it or not, we're going to hear the word 'Groove' a lot. For Cakewalk, a Groove is what most of us call a pattern.
