Stylux RMX Groove Module

Well, I'd have to agree with Jibril. ....I can also understand his passion when expressing himself. Hopefully, a good guy that's just sick of all the illusions/land mines created. ...One really has to step cautiously these days, when walking through the valley of, "Who or What to Believe?"

I bought into the Stylus hype and have since upgraded to the RMX version. Though, I believe it to be a very cool tool, I was very disappointed to discover that it's mostly aimed to be used by folks of the Hip Hop persuasion. In watching all the videos, I kinda sensed that Eric Persing(creator) was really into the Hip Hop genre, but I figured he'd have the mindset to incorporate kits for the other venues as well. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Almost all the beats are break beats of one type or another. With the RMX version, if you tweak and tweak some more, you are able to make a kit from scratch that resembles a natural kit, but still, I find myself wishing I'd bought the Fxpansion BFD Drums instead.

Bottom line is that if you're into Hip Hop, Break Beats, Sound design and such, ..this is a very cool and awesome sounding Virtual Instrument ...and it's worth every penny. On the other hand, if you're use to playing drums with your fingers and/or want natural timbrel sounding drum tracks, I'd stay away from this one. Sample Tank 2 has better sounding kits. More realistic, by far.

Now that I own Stylus RMX, I'll still try to utilize it in some way. It does have a great interface! Fun to putter around. ...And maybe Eric Persing will offer more natural sounding drum kits in his next upgrade. ......Sure hope so.
