Comparison of BM 2 to PC drum samplers
Recently I bought Poise for PC. An MPC style sample player in vst only format. I also bought a big purchase Christmas present to myself by buying Geist and 6 expansion packs.
What I found was that as a Drum Sampler/player with sequencer, BM 2 has an overwhelming value to features set unrivaled by competition.
Poise - $50
Geist with expansions at the $99 sale price for holidays which is over now and back to $249. I paid $279 for sale price and expansions
BM 2 - $20
Ponder on that for awhile before you think of next complaint.
Intua has some features that neither implemented.
Others have some features that could easily be done in updates for BM 2
Nothing touches Geist on iOS platform, but BM 2 has such a feature set to make it very satisfying churning out beats with my own samples and even some kits that come with it.
How is that for bang for your buck!
Intua - fantastic job on BM 2 so far.

Simulated velocity sensitivity on the drum pads would be a killer addition to BM2. I think GarageBand does something similar...?
I am suggesting intua charges more...as to to bigger better things with beatmaker 3

I think it becomes time to move forward...after such a long support time...leave beatmaker2 at twenty bucks...for those who are fine with that system
Build beatmaker professional for those of us who will pay more to have the very best ios sampler period! <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->)
