VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: The sound synthesizers included with Kinetic are really of a poor quality. The grand exception would be the drums and the bass sounds. Still, looking for a good lead or pads is incredibly hard - this is why I wouldn't recommend this too highly. Feature: Everything you need is included in Kinetic, except for recording audio. Ease of Use: Kinetic is unbelievable easy to use (once you become acquainted with it, of course). A MIDI keyboard really makes recording any drum rhythms you have a snap. Arranging is also easy, although because of the poor quality of many sounds, I haven't yet found a way to arrange the best into a song... Quality: It's easy to use, and you can get some great drum sounds from it, but don't expect to use for anything more than drums! Value: For the price, it's worth it just to mess around with - there are definitely a few fun sounds, but if you're on a strict budget (like I am), I recommend for you to save up for something else. Manufacturer Support: The manual is concise, which is good for those that want to quickly learn something about Kinetic, but it doesn't talk in depth about some of the more complicated facets of the program. The Wow Factor: It's definitely inviting to use, and has an easiness to use to complement it! Overall: The program seems to have been perfectly created to meet all the consumer's needs...except maybe for how it sounds. I had really hoped for something that sounded as good as this looked.

Quality: takes a bit of RAM, slow starting up, but no probs. Value: for the price, this is nice. if you want to make drum loops, synth sounds, the pattern sequencing is easy to use and to export. Manufacturer Support: no repairs, upgrades. well done as far as software goes.

Feature: You got to have other midi to get the full effect Ease of Use: Easy as hell all it is clicking and counting Quality: It ain know bull Value: If got to pay the cost to be the boss,but in this case you can be a boss in a quarter of paycheck Manufacturer Support: I haven't but Kinetic is the prototypes prototypes of cakwalk,I'm plannig to get Project 5(kinetic part2) for the summer.and from there keep it movin The Wow Factor: yeah I guess it,the sounds are sexy I'm sexy,yeah I guess you can say that Overall: If I didn't know about project 5 I'd probably stick with for a year or two, but it's like getting high.after while you gon get used to it and aint fun so from there you star experiment with other things
