Isn't that what loops are?

And there are 5000 crap songs that use cellos. It's all how you use 
it. Again, you can feed it MIDI on channel 15 and play the individual 
slices.

And I really like it. Sure it has limitations (like no expensive 
chords or single note samples so you can go beyond the patterns, but 
again, it's all how you use it.

How about drum machines with preset patterns? Why aren't people 
shouting about them?
To me that's totally pathetic. Or drum loop CDs, for that matter? 
They don't exactly breathe with the music.

And it took me about 15 minutes to install it, most of which was 
spent copying the data off the CD-ROM.

Finally, it doesn't have preset chord progressions, only patterns - 
that I don't use.
