Beaterator’s full feature set unveiled

We’ve been hearing about Timbaland and Rockstar’s Beaterator for some time now, and while they’ve gone into some depth of explaining the features, Rockstar has officially come out with a full list of features for this portable MTV Music Generator-like app for the PSP. I think the MIDI Importer is probably the most interesting feature with this thing. The fact that it simply imports from your Memory Stick Pro Duo is nice, and is certainly better than the method you had to use to bring your own sounds into MTV’s old games of the same premise. You can check out the feature set below, and while you’re at it, head over to Rockstar’s site for some new screenshots of the game’s various editing platforms.
