Review: fantastic - I use this all the time with my midi keyboard and mess with all the different instruments in it and stuff. it's fun. Review: SONiVOX should be ashamed - I read some horrible reviews of this software on other sites but for the bargain basement price of $19 I figured I'd give it a shot. I installed the software, applied the latest update and tried to make some beats. Allow me to summarize my experience in one sentence: This software is utter garbage. I expected so much more from SONiVOX. I talked with the former president of the company a few times back in the late 90s when they were known as Hruska Audio and grew to really respect them. Wow. Talk about falling far from grace. This program terribly tarnishes their name. I would avoid this software even if it were $19 and had a $39 rebate. They couldn't pay me to use it. It is very buggy and difficult to learn. The standalone version crashes other apps while it's running. (I can't even write this review in a browser while it's running. It's that bad.) I'm afraid to even run it as a plugin. There's nothing in this package that dozens of others programs can't do better. Even loading a bank of sounds is a chore. Instead of defaulting to the location where the banks are installed it points to C:. It took me 15 min just to figure out how to get a single sound out of it. It really pains me to even continue talking about this software so I'll just skip straight to the pros and cons. AVOID AVOID AVOID Pros: - Sounds are of decent quality - All of the samples are in .wav format which means they can be used in other (better) music programs - Cheap Cons: - When the standalone software is running (Win7 x64) it crashes nearly every other application including Windows Explorer, Google Chrome, etc. It does this 100% of the time. App also crashes on it's own one-third of the time after 10 min or less. - Mediocre FX and few of them - No insert FX - Layout is quite confusing - Individual samples are poorly organized. Is it so hard to put all the kicks in one folder, hats in another, etc? This is partially done but a lot of related samples may be spread into a dozen or more folders. - Interface is non-scalable so most text and controls are very tiny when using a HD screen. I tested at 1080p. - Can't browse for banks with the integrated browser - only samples - Metronome appears to be non existent. Hello, where are you? - DRM driver requires a reboot plus there's still an online authorization. (This is common these days, but still a nuisance.) - Plays drums when using a pad controller is difficult. The pads need to be hammered with a lot of force to even trigger a sound at a normal volume. ## Features - Next-generation music production software for MAC and PC, combining MPC style editing and workflow, with the power of you computer. - Imports most MPC file formats including MPC 60/II, MPC 3000, MPC 2000, MPC 2000XL, MPC 1000, MPC 2500, MPC 500, MPC 5000 as well as AIFF, WAV, Broadcast WAV, ACID & MP3 files. - N8 User-assignable stereo outputs and 8 User-assignable effects busses complete with tempo sync stereo delay, EQ, and reverb effects. - Onboard real-time sampling - 64 user assignable pads with Infinite sample layering and multiple playback modes. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004ACQU30 | | Customer Reviews | 3.4 3.4 out of 5 stars (11) | | Date First Available | November 2, 2010 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Item model number | Pulse - Advanced Production Instrument | | Product Dimensions | 7.75 x 9.5 x 9.5 inches | ## Images ![Sonivox Pulse - Advanced Production Instrument - Channel Virtual Instrument Software - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61c0pjRdxaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ fantastic *by A***R on March 30, 2013* I use this all the time with my midi keyboard and mess with all the different instruments in it and stuff. it's fun. ### ⭐ SONiVOX should be ashamed *by T***E on October 4, 2013* I read some horrible reviews of this software on other sites but for the bargain basement price of $19 I figured I'd give it a shot.
