I just got Motu BPM last Friday,
Bought it from someone that wasn’t using it, hadn’t even been registered yet.
I had to check it out for myself.
I plan to have a full review of it, but just like I did with Maschine, I want to spend some more time learning it.
I just wanted to show a few quick tracks and some features I liked about it so far.
Of course you know there will be more reviews, tips, and videos on BPM. Also some comparisons between Maschine and BPM will be coming so keep an eye out.
Looks Like almost everything I was hoping for in BTV…
@KILLAHCANE, I hear ya man, really no comparison there my dude lol.
Hey man I like the look of motu BPM, but its seams a lot like Transfuser in certain ways. I will check out their site.
@Teacee, can’t say i’ve heard of transfuser, but I’ll check it out. Thanks for the comment.
Transfuser is an Avid Pro Tools RTAS, after looking more into BPM the only difference I can see is that it allows you to play as a stand alone as well as a virtual instrument in any DAW, and it comes with a lot more audio files, I just might pick it up to use with live or logic.
@Teacee, oh cool, i’m not a protools/rtas guy, I had no idea.
thanks for the info!
@saintjoe, it sounds tight I like it how much do it normally runs
@An_One, thanks for checking I think it’s like 279 retail.
Hi Joe
Nice work! I always look forward to hearing what you have to say.
I bought BPM last year I have to say, I’ve looked at it about four times it was the cheaper option for me at the time last year till I heard you go on about Machine.
Man I have never looked back! More than I can say for BPM which is just
hangin around. If someone is interested hit me up with an offer.
Peace
@everythingbutthegirl, hahahaha, yeah, if I had to choose I think we know what I’d choose, but having both is cool.
it’s just another tool for me.
@saintjoe, For sure, I like the drum grooves on this system and the keys sounds nice.
@everythingbutthegirl, yeah, I like that you can expand it, really important in my opinion.
I like the groove features, let’s me get a more natural feel even though it’s a grid based sequencer.
with maschine I can just turn the grid off, can’t do that here so the groove helps to get a non grid feel when I’m playin.
@everythingbutthegirl, hit me up at teacee@maschineheads.com regarding your BPM
@Teacee, always good to see the hookups lol.
@saintjoe, thats right!
hi saint joe. i just want to say the 4 th beat is cool man . its a west coast beat isnt it
@hitch, cool, thanks for watchin.
not sure if it’s west coast or not, I just make whatever comes out 🙂
Yeah man, I’m looking at BPM the same way as you, as a sound module front end for the UVI sounds, with the added bonus of pretty solid sequencing and a great sound engine. Honestly we’ve been pretty spoiled by Maschine. Had NI not slammed it out the park, I think I’d feel like BPM was the illest thing I’ve ever seen. Hopefully MOTU is up to the challenge of competing directly with NI.
I really like UVI’s ep sounds, I think I’m gonna go for the larger Retro Keys pack, gotta make losing a USB port count 🙂
@Metatron72, I feel ya yo lol, Yeah giving up that usb port lol, wack! But it’s all good.
The ep sounds are nice, I’m gonna checkout some other ones too.
I love all your demos, very easy to follow but in-depth! When checking out new gear though, I prefer to hear them with their included sounds only at first, because otherwise the reviewer’s own library could be impacting the review. Later, more in-depth reviews should be wide open and include anything possible. Just personal opinion. Thanks for all you do, man!

@Michael Blue, I hear ya, this wasn’t a review though, just showing some stuff I made with it 🙂
all of the instrument sounds were from motu/uvi the only thing extra was the classic ep sounds I used.
don’t worry there will be more, this was just a quick vid i put together

yo bro the beat is dope, motu BPM looks pretty sick , but gott a admit since maschine burst in tha scene , it seems motu BPM just faded into oblivion , word. peace
@Funk Bandit, yeah man, Maschine kinda took over lol, I’m equal opportunity though, I already know I love maschine and I got a good price on this so I had to check it out lol.
cool video u got some good sounds in there looks like a fun app can u use it like a vst plug in?
@Mike, yeah it works as a plugin in au, vst, and rtas
