It the thing isn't a plug-in or at least works with ReWire, then I can't see the point to it other than as an editing tool for the hardware version (which should be given away free with the unit anyway).
Who wants to use a standalone app of this type in this day and age?

adding to the above: for a $149 price point I expect something drastic that I cannot do with Battery or any other drum software for which I need a MIDI controller anyway.
it´s an app for the upcoming hardware, that´s it. useless otherwise.

Wait though... in the original video they said it would be a VST & RTAS plug-in. Is this now not the case? Can't find anything about it in the product spec on the web site.
What I also don't see is any MIDI control support for the pads or transport controls so you're effectively stuck with a computer keyboard or the hardware unit to program it.
Agree that its too expensive with all the other software out there that is much better featured for the price point.
Make it a cheaper, MIDI controllable plug-in or give it away free as an enticement to buy the hardware unit.

I think they are ridiculous, but they are giving you a voucher for 100% of the price of the plug-in should you want to buy their hardware product.
Now, it definitely needs further development, but if you are enthused by the product idea this gives you a chance to see if this is really something you want so spend what will probably be at least $1200.
If they never develop VST or RTAS support then I will agree that it is a huge hunk o' junk

The software is standalone but the update will allow for vst plugin operation as well as a few other things.
I have the software already and it's a decent program. I have my midi controller hooked up so you don't need to use the computer keys.
However, I don't know about the midi mapping options, like mapping controls and such, I haven't found out about that yet.
The software is a capable instrument all by itself, but it's also going to be dope to use with the hardware.
yeah, I'm a fan...

Hunk o junk??? I guess you aint heard the beats it makes... All you tech nerds more concerned with funtions and specs than the music you make.....It can have all the specs and functions in the world but if it dont bang then it aint nothing..... I have Logic and a Fantom and an MPC and this lil "hunk of Junk" is murdering the beats i made using all that stuff.....
People trip me out how they run they mouth before they try something....
