Most of the kits in Beaotic are based on thousands of samples of classic drum machines like Roland TR-808, WersiMatic CX-1, Korg Rhythm 55 and several others.
Electronics that - in some cases - are more than 40 years old are not as stable as modern equipment, but with multiple samples of every significant variation these machines have to offer, Beaotic has captured every detail (and every quirk) of these old instruments.
As a bonus, every Beaotic instrument features a gracious number of custom sounds that match the character and quality of the original sources.
All new sounds are made or processed using high quality hardware equipment including our eurorack system. These custom sounds are part of what makes Beaotic instruments truly unique.
Some Beaotic instruments include additional recordings of accoustic instruments. These recordings were made, and carefully processed, to match the character and style of the other sounds in the instrument.
All the sounds in a Beaotic instrument are recorded in the best quality possible. We have listened closely to each and every sound, and optimized the signal path to achieve the best possible recording.
We always aim for the shortest possible signal path, with just the right input impedance for every recording. Everything is recorded in 24 bit at 96 kHz with minimal processing - preferably none at all.
As a result, what you get is a high-quality instrument with plenty of room for any post-processing required for your particular taste.
We've implemented a custom-made algorithm to replace round-robin.
While round-robin works very well in most cases, it doesn't really work for rolls or trills, where the repetitive nature of the round-robin pattern would become apparent.
To fix this issue, we went for a randomizer. It had to be a customized one, because we wanted to guarantee that a specific sample would not be played until at least two other samples from the same pool had been played. And that is not possible with Kontakt's built-in randomizer.
The new algorithm eliminates the so-called machine gun effect even more effectively.
This feature was added in Beaotic v. 1.2.
Beaotic Mapping Standard (BMS) is our Protocol for assigning sounds to keys and MIDI CC numbers to parameters.
BMS allows you to use any MIDI controller with Beaotic - without the need to set up anything in your DAW.
All the most important knobs and buttons have been assigned to specific CC numbers, making it possible to control multiple parameters in Beaotic simultaneously, using hardware knobs and buttons.
If you have a Behringer Deep Mind 6, 12 or 12r synthesizer, you will find that the faders are mapped nicely to many available BMS destinations.
