Toontrack

TONAL & PERCUSSIVE INSTRUMENT - If you can think of a sound, Beatstation can help you bring it to life.

At its core, Beatstation marks the next step in Toontrack's evolution of creating virtual instruments that are both simple and effective to use, but are also very powerful sound design and music production tools. Offering drum, bass and lead instrument creation and arrangement with drag and drop simplicity, Beatstation is your go-to instrument for quickly getting a full groove up and running in no time at all. As if that's not enough, it also includes full MIDI & REX file support. Couple those features with the flexibility of working in Beatstation as a stand-alone instrument or an AU, RTAS or VST plug-in inside your favorite DAW, and Beatstation becomes a creative musical force to be reckoned with.

Beatstation comes standard with a 1.5 GB core content library packed full of beautifully recorded instrument patches, loop-ready REX files and even completely customizable MIDI arrangements. Beatstation also lets you use and combine all of your existing Toontrack EZX and SDX drum libraries together to create one of a kind drum kits and sounds.
