Beat has launched the August edition of its magazine, which offers up an overview of 13 of the best drum machines and 30 hacks for better beats.

Beat Magazine #211 also includes the Beatzille semi-modular sound design synthesizer by u-he.

u-he Beatzille brings the sound of expensive modular synthesizers to your DAW. Like its big sister Bazille, it expands the classic sound spectrum of analog modular systems with flexible digital oscillators and limitless wiring possibilities. If you‘re bored of synthesizers with a predefined signal path and want to really get into sound exploration, the Beatzille will be your best friend. On board are the best patches from our Beatzille Patch Contest.

The issue also includes 3 months of Reason+ with the Reason VST3 Rack, and more.

Beat Magazine 08/23 is available for 4.99 EUR at Falkemedia and from Plugin Boutique, or as a subscription at Plugs & Samples.
