The gating feature on this thing makes it a dream. By setting all your loops on a single mute group, you can make crazy drum beat reorders, similar to programming your own breaks using ReCycled one-shots. If you have no idea what I'm talking about then you are missing out on the best part of Loopazoid: to all Hammerhead users - the things you can do with loops in Hammerhead, you can also do with Loopazoid's mute group feature. The ability to pan each sample individually and then send to 1 of 4 outputs gives it an advantage over RMF's single stereo output - you can highpass filter your panned stereo cymbals on one output and have the main drums come out another...My only qualms are with stability issues. When saving in Cubase VST3.7, Loopazoid scans through all slots in all banks, and ties up enough CPU to crash if the song is playing. This makes it IMPOSSIBLE to use the automated backup system that Cubase provides so that we don't lose our work. As well, LoopaZoid gets quite testy when you delete a sample from your hard drive and then open a song with that sample in the Loopazoid bank. "Be cool, honeybun" you might say, but to no avail.Read Review
