  74. Review by Zenta :
  75.  
  76. Even though on the surface Making Waves looks like a poor relation to Acid, 
  77. it actually has a few facilities that still make it worthwhile using. As a
  78. drum loop creator it is pretty useful and with the built in ability to easily
  79. create triplets and the ability of being able to seqence up not only samples
  80. but midi notes and triggers, sets it asidefrom BBox, Drumstation and the like.
  81. Its a shame it has no effects built in nor can it utilise DX plugins but maybe
  82. that will come in a later update. Wave output could not be faulted and was
  83. clear and accurate. All in all, a program that shows a lot of potential and
  84. one that has a few tricks up its sleeve to keep it apart from the competition.
