Rockstar's Beaterator for October News

PSP News by Robert Purchese

13 August, 2009

Rockstar Games has announced a 2nd October launch for PSP music game Beaterator. Or, as the game is now known, "Beaterator, presented by Rockstar Games and Timbaland".

Beaterator was once a mere Flash game on the Rockstar website. But so popular did it prove that Rockstar soon fleshed the music mixer into a proper product.

These days, Beaterator packs thousands of loops and sounds, and a suite of mixing tools Timbaland - who helped on the project - reckons are as good as his own.

"Beaterator is like taking my music studio and turning it into a suite of tools anyone can use. We can't wait to hear the beats people make and share with the world," said the renowned hip-hop producer.

The original version of Beaterator can be played on the Rockstar website.

Sounds fantastic. Are there restrictions using the samples for your own music?

I imported Traxxpad a few years back, and while it was cool to knock up the odd loop and fit layered tracks together, the PSP screen size just felt too claustrophobic for the job at hand. That and the variety of samples that could be held in memory was quite limiting.

Still, some of the Traxxpad created music people have posted on YouTube shows what can be done with a little perseverance (and talent!), so maybe this could work with a publisher like Rockstar behind it.
