BEAT THANG BEST BUY SOFTWARE
The Beat Thang also comes with a download slip with a key to download the additional 1000 sounds and the desktop software which mimics the Beat Thang on-board layout perfectly. All one has to do to start making beats is simply turn it on… Once a user knows the sound module they want to use, then they can select the sound module while in the pattern menu to start sequencing a beat from scratch using the available tracks. The Setup of the Beat Thang is really easy. The small number of connections, however, also aid in the portability of the Beat Thang overall. I’m a bit disappointed in the overall number of inputs and outputs as some other competitive machines on the market often have more input and output options to connect many more devices. There’s also another set of ¼-inch L/R outputs and a single TRS/XLR combo input with a volume control knob. There are two ¼-inch Headphone outputs which is a cool feature for collaborative work. Next there is a MIDI IN and MIDI OUT along with a TRS footswitch port. There’s also a USB connection to connect the Beat Thang to a computer so that you can use it as a MIDI controller for any production software. There’s two SD card slots and a USB hard-drive connection for importing and exporting songs and sounds. Each knob has two hard plastic navigation arrow buttons underneath them to change other on-screen parameters.Īround the back there are the inputs and outputs along with USB connections for various uses. There are two oversized knobs on either side of the screen with have a nice feel to them which are perfect for navigating through the many options on the screen. On the right side of the screen are the on-board effects which include Freak, Delay, Verb, Bang, and Blang. To the left of the screen there are buttons to call up Instrument Kits, Drum Kits, Patterns, or songs. There are four hard white buttons directly underneath the screen which change function dependent upon which mode the Beat Thang is in. The screen is nice and bright and everything is easily legible. Towards the top of the machine is the color screen which can be used to navigate through the thousands of sounds, record/playback track view, setting parameters, and even waveform editing. There’s the Play/Stop/Record buttons, track cue buttons, navigation buttons and Menu buttons to easily set the different modes and properties. There’s a Tempo button in between pads three and six which allow the user to TAP the BPM of the track.
BEAT THANG BEST BUY MOD
On the left side of the Beat Thang is the Pitch control and on the right side is the MOD control. There’s also a Blue LED light in the front of the Beat Thang that really looks cool when in use.
BEAT THANG BEST BUY FULL
I was able to get almost four full hours of use out of the Beat Thang while using adequate light levels. When using The Beat Thang in Battery Mode, the outputs were all still the same in terms of volume and the user has the option to adjust the button and screen light-levels to get maximum play-time between charges. The heaviness of The Beat Thang is expected as there is an internal battery which allows it to be used without being connected to a wall socket for power. It’s pretty heavy and definitely built to last. It’s only 11 inches wide, 9 inches long, and 2 inches thick making the Beat Thang a truly mobile production studio that you can take with you anywhere to start making beats.

I was very happy to find that the Beat Thang was made of a completely metal chassis and was compact enough to fit inside of any small bag or carry case. After seeing all the publications and videos of the device, I thought that the Beat Thang would be made of plastic and a quite large machine. The first impressions of the Beat Thang was a welcomed surprise.
