Product Info
The inside look of new and exciting music gear and software.
The exclusive agreement with Best Buy is up, there’s a new sheriff in town and the price of the Beat Thang has dropped and will now soon be available in other countries and other professional music gear stores such as Guitar Center and Sam Ash, plus there are more great things to come from Beat Kangz Electronics out of Nashville, Tennessee.
The Beat Thang Portable Music Production Center was announced and promoted several months prior to release that it would be available for $999 and upon release (July 2011) and a Best Buy Music Gear exclusive, the price heightened to $1499. Well for those who’ve been waiting and saving to get their hands on the Beat Thang, you’ll now have it much sooner than you think!
Other great news is there’s a new firmware version update coming soon for both the Beat Thang hardware and the software. The Virtual (software) also gets a facelift and will soon become Beat Thang Virtual Solo and Beat Thang Virtual Pro.
I know all of of this because the new President of BKE (Reavis Mitchell) said so! Video below by Sounds and Gear.
Stay tuned to more details as they become available.
I’m sure many Android users will be glad to see this one, and I’m sure it will pave the way for more to come from other popular music production software titles.

The video above is presented by Pailo and shows how you can use it with OhmModes, a sophisticated remote script for Ableton Live.
I briefly demonstrate how to create your very own custom instruments/sounds in kit mode bypassing instrument mode. I did NOT demonstrate any trim or truncating options and this can also be done initially after sample is loaded in the Beat Thang. Just keep in mind, any additional pieces of the sample you trim out will be removed and no longer editable unless you reload the sample. However, in that instance, you can load and or sample whatever parts you want individually and trim each to your satisfaction. Visit http://youtube.com/beatthang for the BKE Official Video Tutorials.
