Your Favorite Rhythm generation tool for the Virus ?

[Doc Jones]

Hi Alex, yeah, I do own Intakt and it is a good piece of software. It's very much like the rex player in Reason where the pitch and tempo are independent of each other and you can manipulate the loop at the slice (or hit) level. But honestly, once you go with RMX, you will probably never want to use another software for rhythm generation. I really can't do it justice here, but it really is an amazing piece of software. Now don't get me wrong, RMX is very expandable with sage expanders from both spectrasonics and illios - neither of these require and slicing on your part. But I just love the flexibility RMX offers me as far as importing my own sample libraries (and own customized loops) into RMX using recycle. RMX has breathed a whole new life into my sample library - with it's amazing effects section, chaos improvisation etc. For me, recycle is actually quite a simple program, but I have been using it for years and have gotten to the point where I can cut up a loop or sample set almost perfectly. It takes a little practice, but you eventually get the hang of it and once you do, you end up going through everything and cutting it up to get it into RMX!

I have read on another forum that Intakt is similar to ReCycle, maybe easier, maybe a little more feature rich.

I bought Reason almost 2 years ago and hated it so I never got into ReCycle...
