Fxpansion Guru To Logic Options

[hushhurt]

hello, i was wondering if anyone need how to bounce fxpansion guru to logic. i can open guru in logic as an midi instrument, but when i try to record the beats i created in guru, it just plays guru rather than recording it. sorry for my complete newbness.
thanks

how would you compare it to something like... kontakt? battery? ultrabeat?

Well, let me say I own Stylus (and all the expanders), Battery 2, Kontakt, Logic 7, Reason, and Reaktor. I tend to do most of my beats in Stylus or Reaktor. I wanted to mention that as I one thing I really like about Reaktor (and especially the Electronic Instruments collections) is the easy ability to create polyrhythms, that is separate sequences of unequal length. Ultrabeat, iDrum, and several of the other ones I looked at do not have this option.

Now, Battery and Kontakt are sample playback instruments which basically makes them as good as the sounds you load into them (aside from particular sound shaping features that is). My plan is to use Guru as a polyrhythmic sequencer with easy access to my sample library. This will also include using its 'slicing' features to generate both interesting 'Four Tet' like glitch rhythms, patterns (exportable MIDI from loops) and special effects. My initial experiments with the demo indicate some unique abilities, i only just received my purchased copy with the full library so cannot comment on the included sounds yet.

For just pure drum joy, I love Stylus (sounds, chaos generator, and FX are outstanding). For experimental rhythms, Reaktor is my choice. I think Guru will fit in between, I see it as being my 'beatbox', suited for more experimental electronica (Autechre for example) beat construction. Hope that helps ;-)
