Software for creating phat, funky beats

• The Grand Ultimate CSounds, recommended by Mason David Bryant and batou.
• The Groovemaker 2.0
• Meta-link to more sounds (Aron Schoppert, teedub)
• Fruity Loops 2.7 (batou; Aron Schoppert says "Drum programming is a snap. And the documentationis quite decent...better for manipulating and arranging existing sounds. Rebirth style synth. Pair it up with goldwave/soundforge for a basic setup.)
• Reason 1.0 (Aron Schoppert; a big step up from Fruity Loops)
• Buzz, recommended by Kris Ganjam (parameterized sound generators (physical sims), effects).
• Protools freeware mixes up to 8 tracks. (Matt May)
• Something else recommended by Kris Ganjam.
• More tasty beatmachines called to my attention by Kris Ganjam.
• And still more from the fertile link machine that is Kris Ganjam.
