Quantize, Record Modes, Swings, and Bar Structures
Quantizing – For those new to music production, quantizing ‚snaps‘ your notes into place if you lay them a bit off. You can quantize down to 1/4 and up to 1/64 notes. Or just turn it OFF for that natural, live feel.
Record Mode – Replace or Overwrite your performances with ease.
Swing – Simply adjust in real time and add up to 75% swing.
Bar Structure – Easily change up your bar length in real time. You can even assign different bar lengths to your separate tracks for more complex song structures.
PLUS – Click/drag, or tap in your tempo. Adjust volumes (master or per channel/pad), and build tons of patterns and change-ups fast. Save, edit, duplicate patterns, and add effects anywhere in a snap.
Fast and Easy Navigation, Shortcuts, and Triggers
User Friendly Navigation will have beginners and music pros alike spending much less time ‚figuring it out‘, and much more time making incredible music! The controls and layout become second nature in no time, and friendly keyboard shortcuts and triggers save you valuable time. You’ll be able to make beats, arrange melodies, build custom kits, and finish songs in less time.
Quickly scroll through its 8 banks/octaves of keys/kits, 16 stereo channels with mute/solo per pad and channel, on-the-fly kit and sample changes, trigger rolls and holds, easy insert/copy of duplicate bars, and much more.
Effects, Delays, and Reverbs
Effects, Delays, and Reverbs Freak – Loaded with phasers, flangers, vibratos, choruses, pitch-shifters, high/low pass filters, and more. Freak takes your music to the next dimension with powerful, hard-hitting effects that will add dynamic expression to your sound. Delay & Reverb –Choose from tons of reverbs and delays, or create your own. Each pad gets its own set of rules! You can give any sample in any kit or instrument the exact feel you want with adjustable send levesl for each pad. Usually a lot of processing power is needed to get each sound/pad/instrument/sample to host its own full set of attributes. Even with all 16 channels filled with custom treatments per pad, BTV SOLO will still keep pushing through whatever you throw at it. |
.WAV Editing and Autochop
On-screen Waveform Editing -Easily open up any sample (including the ones you import) and start editing the waveform directly in BTV SOLO‘. Adjust nearly any parameter of your sample, including ADSR, Volume, Panning, pitch, and the start and end point. Quickly Autochop your samples to create useful kits and instruments in less time.
Autochop – Take your imported samples from your CDs, MP3 players, vinyl collection and more, and BTV SOLO will „automatically chop“ and format these recordings into playable sections already spread across the pads, and ready for you to use in your own music. Editing samples can be a hard, long, and tedious task. BTV SOLO gives you a hassle-free automated process, giving you more time to be creative.
Precise Kit Building and Keyspanning
Kit building – For the advanced users (and beginners alike), you’ll love quickly building new drums kits in less time. Quickly access a velocity sensing screen where you can edit start/end volumes and even assign voice groups! Build kits with up to 16 layers of sounds per pad, each triggered by how hard you play, giving you greater expressive control.
Keyspanning – Allows you to completely pitch-shift a single sample across one octave. This is great with drums when you roll your bass per pad, drop your snare on your gaps and fills, or just get crazy with your sound exploration kit sessions. Also use keyspanning to stretch any sample across multiple octaves, turning any sound you’ve loaded into an instrument you can play!
Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release
Attack – Decay – Sustain – Release are all important once you get down to details and advanced music production processes.
Attack – This is how fast a sound starts versus fading in a touch and softening the sharpness of the starting point.
Decay, Sustain, & Release – Adjust these to give your sound some tail-end echo or keep it tight and raw.
With BTV SOLO you can alter the attack, decay, sustain, or release of any sound you’re working with in both Kit and Instrument Mode, allowing you to completely customize the sound of your drums, basses, pianos, synths, and more.
Pitch, Pan, Cutoff, and Resonance per Sound
Pitch – Raise or lower the pitch of any sample by clicking and dragging up or down. Great for working with acapellas, instruments, or even drum!s
Pan – Any sound can be panned from left to right with absolute precision. This really comes in handy for things like drums – where you want two of them in your left ear, the other two in your right, and a lead (or any instrument/sample for that stereophonic feel) in the middle.
Cutoff – Resonance – Volume-Adjust cutoff and resonance all on the same screen – no more jumping around when mastering kits. Adjustable volume & trigger type are here too.

Custom Instrument Mode
That’s my sound… Just like in Kit Builder Mode, here you can start assigning your own sounds, or the BTV SOLO library sound-to the pads, banks, kits, etc., and keyspan them to create new amazing instruments in seconds!
Want to create a new 8 octave instrument with a choir sample you loaded? Or maybe you want to layer 3 synths, a hit, and a sub-bass from the BTV SOLO library and create a new mega-synth? Do it all with ease in Instrument Mode. Just drag the samples to the pads, add layers if you want, and select how many octaves you want the instrument spanned across. Instrument Mode makes creating your own incredible instruments and crafting your own signature sound easier than ever before.
Custom Kit Builder Mode
Build That Kit! – We give you quick guide icons to help walk you through what a standard kit looks like. But don’t let that stop you from getting creative and mixing things up!
Whether you’re choosing from the massive sample library that comes with BTV SOLO or you’re importing all your own sounds (even thousands at a time), you’ll build kits faster with BTV SOLO’s simple drag and drop feature. Simply open any sample folder and drag the sound you like to the pad you like. That’s it. The sound combinations are truly limitless!
Once you start mixing and matching samples, you’ll find endless inspiration as you start to develop your own sound!
On-Board Quick Effects and Mastering Kit!
Quick Effects – quickly access your effects to get fast preview of your global effects sends. Choose from phasers, flangers, coil and old vinyl effects, reverbs, delays and more. Trigger over 60 presets or create your own and then send them to individual tracks, pads, or the whole song!
Bang – Add instant compression, limiting, EQ, and more to your tracks. Bang literally adds more ‚bang‘ to your beat and brings your speakers to life!
Blang – Simply click on the Blang button to quickly change up BTV SOLO’s skins. Select from a variety of included skins or import your own for that custom feel!
Song Mode Is Efficient and Smart
Finalizing Your Pattern Structure in Song Mode – now that was easy!
Once you’re done building your patterns (let’s say you made three patterns – one for your chorus‘, one for your verses, and one for your intro/outro), you simply line them up here in the order you want them to play, pick how many times you want each to loop, and hear your whole song play start to finish.
The screen shot is showing that the pattern ‚Blaze‘ will loop twice (length of a chorus), then ‚Blaze2‘ will loop 4 times (length of a verse). Do this a few times over, export, and you have a full broadcast ready track ready for use in studios, with musicians, recording artists, etc
