Dope Concept but the filters don't make sense and the CPU usage is way too high. Hope they fix the high CPU demand in a future update.
This is a very good MPC Style Drum/Sampler VST. It is easy to install, and very easy to learn. The support team is responsive as well. I contacted Apisonic with an issue about the browser the issue was resolved quickly. I recommend you try the demo. If you are an old hardware MPC head like myself, I know you will like this VST. It is also stable and very light on CPU usage, just give it a try, you won't regret it.
