Upravo ga isprobavam, ne bi se mogao porediti sa Battery. Ovo je u stvari ritam masina, sa paternima, kitovima, znaci nesto kao Groove Agent, BFD. Na jednom DVD-u, mnostvo dobrih zvukova, paterni slicni onima iz Microtonica. Zanimljivo, nista spektakularno.

pa recimo da je odlicna alternativa battery-ju, sa mogucnoscu pravljenja patterna nalik fl studiju, takodje sa mnostvom korisnih efekata, itd..

Dali i Battery ima mogucnost koristenja VST i inih effekata kao Guru ako sam dobro procitao.?o

[lesha]

guru ima samo interne efekte, a moze da radi kao "ReWire device, and VST, DXi, AudioUnit, RTAS" u zavisnosti od os-a..

ima kompresor, filter (eq), modulator, lo-fi/bit reduction (uz saturaciju i promenu sample rate-a).
guru po tom pitanju ima prednost u kolicini razlicitih efekata..

Ne kapiram čemu poređenje sa Battery. Battery je sampler, prvenstveno namenjen bubnjevima, a ovo je prvenstveno pattern sekvencer, ponajvi?e sličan starim verzijama Fruity Loops-a. Namenjeni su za dve prilično različite stvari. Da hoću da isprogramiram akustični bubanj koristio bih Battery, da hoću da napravim neke loop-ove, koristio bih Guru.

[lesha]

dobro, ja sam malo preterao, ali oba su dizajnirana kao ritam masine, s tim sto je workflow kod guru-a po meni dosta bolji..
ne vidim zasto guru ne bi mogao da se koristi za akusticni bubanj...

na kraju krajeva, racuna se rezultat..
ako do njega mogu doci brze i uz uzivanje u radu, onda je to prava stvar..

pa zato shto je pattern. a vjerovatno nema mogucnost snimanja, shto znachi da si ogranichen na kvantizaciju i ima da se opuchish ako radish programing koji nije loop.
