Well I’m sure you know by now that the beat thang virtual has been updated to version 1.5

One of the main things I noticed in the update was the fix to the windows bug that wouldn’t let you delete single sounds.

It would just mute the pad when you did it. Now if you hit ctrl+shift and the pad you want to delete, it will take it out.

So if you mess up on ya hats, or your kick or that sample chop, you can just erase it without having to redo your whole track.

I made a quick video showing you how it’s done.

let me know what ya think.

At the 2009 DJ EXPO, Beat Kangz Electronics Demoed The Beat Thang Virtual for Hip Hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa.

He seems to approve, though we can’t see the entire time they spent showing him the beat thang software, which would have been really dope.

If you’re like me, you’ve been waiting for the full documentations….not that you haven’t been able to work, it’s just nice to have a full manual available.

well, beat kangz added it to their support page if you haven’t seen it.

go on and download it! virtual beat thang manual

I told you I’d update ya when I saw it!

peace!

I know a lot of you want to see this feature, as do I.

It’s a quick way of working in beat thang or any software/hardware.

Us mpc users are definitely used to it.

But, in this video I show you a workaround that pretty much gives us what we want

It’s not totally seamless, but it’s better than we thought actually and I think you’ll like it.

It’s called quick kit mode, so check it out and let me know what you think.

Please leave me comments and share this stuff….the Beat Kangz are watching this site so the more we get folks involved, the more input and influence we’ll have on the product.

let me know!

this is a quick video showing the filter options inside beat thang virtual

a few peeps were asking about it, I couldn’t remember while I was at work so I just made this video when I got home

pretty flexible system, filter on each track and a basic cutoff filter with res on each sample/pad layer… that’s 16 layers per pad…

what you think?

Just a quick post to let you know that the beat thang virtual quick start document is ready for download.
