Vintage Electric Keys (1.19GB)
This months pack from the samples masters at PinkNoise Studio features seven electric piano instruments with additional distorted patches to give a lo-fi, vintage vibe. The sounds have been hand -crafted using a Korg MicroX and Nord Modular G2X, plus some subtle processing courtesy of the Fairchild compressor, Neve 1081 EQ, Roland Dimension D and CE-1 Chorus UAD plug-ins. On the disc you ll find 24-bit/44.1 and 24-bit/96kHz versions, plus a number of ‘clean and ‘dirty patches for Kontakt and Reason. The dirty Reason patches combine the Combinator and the Scream 4 distortion module, and for those lucky enough to own the new Reason 6 there are bonus patches that utilise the new Pulveriser sound-crunching effect.
Tech House Construction Kits (164MB)
The bouncing sounds of tech house are proving massively popular in clubs around the globe as hungry clubbers search for the middle ground between house and
electro – and our friends at Equinox Sounds have put together four construction kits for producing tech house tracks. In each folder you ll find full-mix audio
plus component parts covering kick drums, percussion, deep basses and progressive synth riffs. Each folder is also labelled with tempo from 125 – 128BPM, although you can easily time-stretch these samples as they are provided in ACID WAV as well as Apple Loops formats.
Reason Instruments Explained (52 minutes)
All eyes are on Reason at the moment following the release of version 6, which has some tasty new features. One thing that remains the same, though, is Reason s solid collection of virtual synths, samplers and drum machines. The experts at Groove 3 have provided over 50 minutes of video taken from their Reason Instruments Explained Volumes 1 & 2 tutorials. Topics include an overview of the instruments, selecting and playing instruments, assigning controls, using patches, the Thor synth and using the effects in Kong.
