Re: fruityloops

I've been using it a lot lately, it's great for trying out grooves
quickly before working them out in more detail in the mpc2000.

Thumbs up: the f/x section is excellent (esp. in the pro version), it'll
take years for the slow poke copy cats at akai to come up with any near
it. Also, it's a simple program to use - it doesn't take much time to
get things groovy.

Thumbs down: as far as i know, the resolution is liited to sixteenths
and the only time signature is 4/4. Because of this, i don't use it for
much more than "groove sketching".
