Is there are user manual around?  I just need a look at the features, and all.

What's it do?  Slice, dice, and playback?  Any idea how it calculates the velocity of a single layer sample?  Perhaps its a good way to get a nice rolling snare, without having to make a mulit-sample instrument or something...

Look in \program files(x86)\cakewalk\beatscape\documentation    (win7 folder).

Some description at the Cake blog
