Very advanced

Very advanced. Great control over effects- everything can be automated independently- every single slider on every effect for a track.
Touches like the option for a 4x4 array of velocity pads for a single voice are great and there endless finessing tweaks you can make. Plus many banks of drums triggers and quick in situ change of beat resolution and triplets (eg 48 subdivisions) including up to 96 subdivisions makes for amazing beat programming. You arent stuck with just 16 note values for a drum track you can choose from a "wall" of different pad banks. Thank you! The interface/workflow is honestly not that intuitive out of the box - this is a hallmark of a truly powerful program tho and it is worth investing the time in.

However !! The included keyboard sampler packs are atrocious. You will need to do a bit of work to find bass and lead sounds worthy of the beats you create!

With audiobus support this may be less of an issue as you can trigger midi via keyboard tracks and then record the other apps audio output into an audio track.

Also I have to say the keyboard sample editor is great. Surprisingly simple to add zones and velocity-specific layers to sample based instruments you create. With a bit of pasteboard actions from other apps including Alchemy (one of my favorite synths), you can come up with usable keyboard instruments.

Cheers!
