The Beat Kangz Beat Thang music production workstation was one of the most-hyped announcements coming out of the 2009 Winter NAMM Show. The Beat Thang promises sampling, effects and 16-track sequencing, with a focus on hip-hop production.

The Beath Thang may not be released yet, but the Kangz have another thing coming - Beat Thang Virtual.

They haven't announced specs for Beat Thang Virtual and the video doesn't help much, but the Kangz expect to have it on sale on July 17th. An iPhone app, The Playa Thang, is also in the works.
