Feature:
It has a lot of features. The best is probably the 64 tracks and the mpc style pads.

Quality:
I have only had it for about two weeks and I have not noticed any bugs.

Value:
I gave it a six because for the price this software lacks a few features that are usually accessible with software in this price range. The only thing you can do is play rex, wav, aiff or the factory sounds. Motu advertises that you can play any machfive libray but they don't tell you that you have to literally buy machfive and use the ilock dongle in order to play those sounds in BPM. This software lacks support for other sample libraries, ex:kontakt,nnxt,giga,etc. I think its a better idea to save your money and by Native Instruments Maschine or something similar.

Desirability:
I regret buying this. I should have saved my money and bought Native Instruments Maschine. That program itself(without the controller that comes with it) is essentially the same price with way more features.

Sound:
The sounds that come with it are not that bad but could be a lot better.Especially the multisamples. There ok.

Ease of Use:
It's fairly easy to use. You can start making beats right outofthe box. The instruction manuel is easy too.

Support:
The support sucks. They act as if your annoying the hell out of them.

Overall:
I've had it for a couple of weeks and I'm already saving up for Native Insruments Maschine. Fellow musicians, save your money and get something better!
