Rockstar (makers of Grand Theft Auto) has teamed with producer Timbaland in the hopes of creating a full-featured music creation program that both musicians and music fans can enjoy. Beaterator is capable of quite a bit, but also sacrifices some usability in exchange for depth. Cramming all these features onto the handheld comes at a cost. People looking for a music game will have to look elsewhere, but if you want to create some tunes Beaterator will do the trick – so long as you have a little patience.

Rock/folk/classical music fans take note: Beaterator deals with loops, which means it's really ideal for dance and hip-hop music that uses a lot of repetition. Of course, with a title like Beaterator you probably don't expect to be composing string quartets.



There are two sides to Beaterator: Live Play and the Studio. Live Play is a pretty cool performance tool that lets you mix either Beaterator's or your own loops together. A session consists of several tracks represented by speakers in the corners of the screen, and each track can contain four loops that are triggered with the PSP's face buttons. One loop from each track can play at a time (up to a total of 8 simultaneous loops) and you can jump from loop to loop in real time. Using this mode to perform compositions of your own loops seems to be the best application for Beaterator. Playing with the templates and included loops is amusing for a bit, but creating your own material or loading in your own samples from your PC is much more rewarding. Not all the loops in a template go well together, which is another reason to stick to your own creations.

You can replace loops as your song plays, effectively allowing you to transition to another song during a performance. Beaterator can also record a performance and dump the loops you play into the timeline of your Song Crafter, saving you the trouble of laying it all out piece by piece on your own. Once captured, you can edit the clips in the timeline as desired. This is actually a very convenient way of composing songs and I wish the entire Beaterator experience was this user friendly. I can even imagine bringing a PSP and Beaterator on stage with me and using Live Play in my own projects.
