it's kinda like cool edit pro only with some pre packaged loops...atleast on the one i bought in 03 had some....had a jazz loop disc, hip hop, rock, and some other stuff...had some voice samples too and some drum kits and some synths that you could use...although they weren't easy to program and I remember one sounded like a casio keyboard...the drum synth sucked and so did the bass one. I still use it when i mess around with fruity loops to mix it down n' ish....overall, it's very useless although it's ok if you're just starting out and need something to mess around with. I think I paid somewhere around $50 for it for the deluxe package.
