However, unlike some products which are more heavily focused on their bundled, pre-mixed sample-libraries, GURU gives you an enormous amount of flexibility to use your own samples and create new, original beats from scratch.Īside from that, GURU's main strength is the integration of slicing, sampling and sequencing functionality - we don't think anything else on the market can match it for speed and creative workflow, and its onboard sequencer offers timing precision 10-100x greater than conventional MIDI software sequencers, and equal to that of the best integrated hardware sequencer/sampler combos.įinally, as GURU is a phrase-based sequencer with multiple simultaneous engines each with independent tempo multipliers, pattern lengths and step lengths, GURU is ideal for anyone interested in polyrhythms and other more complex rhythmic interactions. What are the advantages of GURU compared to existing solutions?īeing a software instrument, GURU gives you access to a huge library of sounds at a very affordable price. It's also ideal as a programming environment for latin, jazz & other polyrhythmic styles, when used in conjunction with an external sound source such as BFD with the Percussion expander, and can be used as a scratch-pad drum machine for rock. GURU is ideal for hip hop, rnb, house, techno, electronica, modern pop, garage, trance, drum&bass, breaks, electro, industrial and more - basically any style of music that leans towards programmed, rather than real, drums. What styles of music is it most suitable for? GURU is a combination of sampler, drum machine, beat slicer and step sequencer - in short, a complete rhythm production workstation for your computer or DAW. You may be able to find help from other users at the GURU forum.
