Kinetic gives quite a bit to work with. Few will find the need for more than is given here with a great range of presets and 3 robust,full featured synthesizer plugins. Each of which also sound great straight out of the box! The interface is easy and insanely fun. I would only say that if the music you are looking to make is less loop based and more full composition, or if you are looking for a traditional sort of plug and play and record approach you may find that kinetic is a bit confined by it's loop and dance based chains. I would say that it is though possible to break from these and it's not that hard a task either. Remember, that is what this program is for! It is great for loop-based music, like dance and electronica of all styles. Also, rewire it to a DAW and it will be like adding a sound arsenal to whatever you are working on!

I love this software!! It is great for doing loop based music. It is so flexible and tweakable. The effects are great. The Roland Groovesynth is awesome. I have an old MC-303 and this is like that x10. Much easier to do patterns and grooves. You can input your own VSTi's and samples for expanded sounds.

I bought this program not too long ago and I love it. I have been waiting to get this for a long time and now I finally have it. Now I just need to be able to use it more efficiently... This program has a lot on it and the sooner I know what all I have to work with the better I can use it!
