Hammerhead isn't all that great. It's a fun toy for people who like to make bang bang noises on their
computer, but beyond that it's poo. It's not all that ideal for trackers at all. It's just a bunch of samples
from an MC-303 (It's true. I recognize specific ones). Why waste time
making the loop, dumping to a 125k audio file, and using it in a tracker when
you can just extract the 3 or 4 instruments you were using and use those
in your sampler or tracker? Saves a lot of space. I guess the shuffle and frequency stretch/compression for keeping things in
sync is nice, but if you know enough about timing you can do this yourself. Also, the bank compiler doesn't have enough features. It would have been nice
to define samples to cut other samples off like the internal samples do (the
breakbeats and hi-hats). I love Hammerhead to play with, and I don't mean to come down on it, but as a
serious "tool", it's useless.
