Traxxpad is composed of four basic modes: R.T.I.S.T. (Real-Time Interactive Sequencing Technology, i.e. where you create the beats), MeLOD (the melody maker), MyXxer (for live sequence triggering) and S.T.A.C. (Studio Through A Console, for assembling full songs). We were initially skeptical about what a PSP could accomplish compared to music hardware and digital workstations with comparable features, but after several hours of cranking out studio-quality tracks, we walked away impressed.

Traxxpad also sounds amazing. With our iPod in-ear headphones, Ultimate Ears super.fi 5 Pros, and the "auxiliary in" of an aftermarket car sound system, the highs were clean, the mids full, and the lows booming. Each of the hundreds of included samples may not be perfectly clean, but the overall sound quality is solid given the breadth and range of included sounds. Though we haven't gotten a chance to try it yet, you can also record samples using an external microphone/headset and edit the raw waveforms in the Chop Shop. Audio gear doesn't come cheap, and while Traxxpad won't be a replacement for a professional workstation, for the creatively inclined (but perhaps not so monetarily endowed) or interested PSP owners, it certainly looks to be worth consideration. With the ability to export your creations directly to a memory stick (in MP3 format) and to share your beats wirelessly, Traxxpad clearly aims to turn PSP into a full-featured musical instrument. Look for it on shelves later this month.

Shit is getting out of control....... wish I had one.

I just got sone looking up more stuff about this. I guess this is due out this June 27. Doesn't say how much. But I guess you can still take the samples from your computer ad put them on a memory card and then use the PSP.

I don't know... for pocket portability to make beats? That's crazy. I think I would buy one right now if the game was actually out but since I gotta wait until the 27th. I ain't surprised. My buddy had I think it was an MPC60 and it was like a palm pilot. So you could make beats on the go but it was weird to make beats by tapping on a screen with a stylus. So I don't know.... this might end up being more powerful than an MPC500.

I like the fact that they used our local Bay Area producer,Traxxamillion,to promote it :)
His known out here for making the beat for "Super Hyphy" for Keak Da Sneak which put the Bay Area back on the map for a minute in 2005.
