BKE Beat Thang Drum Machine

Drum machines always spin me out. On one hand I can't keep my hands off them and on the other my OCD takes over and I lose interest when I have to start programming. I don't like chores! This however is cool. BKE have made the effort to provide pads and buttons that are dedicated to almost every sound you'll need at any given time. This is a simple machine to use yet incredibly powerful. You can use it on the go with its battery charged or you can integrate it with your computer and use the BTV VSTi application that comes with each Beat Thang. There are numerous I/O options and you can use the unit as a controller for your computer for increased processing power while maintaining that hands-on feel. This is a pretty affordable option, at $799, that will bring the fun back to making grooves, loaded as it is with guitar and keyboard effects and a squillion drum samples.
