Loopmasters has released MIDI Focus – Bass Line, a collection of MIDI loops by 5Pin Media.

Blast your productions into Bass Line heaven with this combination of instruments and versatile MIDI modelled on the Sonic Silver Legend that has created House and Techno.

More than just a nod to the past, Bass Line takes the fat and juicy 303 bass into the future with instrument presets and sample patches combined with the MIDI House and Techno styles of now.

MIDI Focus – Bass Line features

• 156 MIDI loops programmed in a classic 303 step sequencer, converted to MIDI ensuring the correct note lengths, slides and accents. The included instruments and patches will play the MIDI true to the original 303. The note velocities have also been optimised for the reliable playing of Audiorealism and Phoscyon by d16.
• 62 instruments are included that capture the 303 spirit but unlike the original boast added controllable effects and distortion.
• 430MB content, 24bit quality sample patches, including Ableton Sampler Instrument Racks, Kontakt & NN-XT patches, Reason Combinators, Maelstrom & Subtractor presets, and Native Instruments Massive presets.

MIDI Focus – Bass Line is available to purchase for £19.95 GBP.

D16 Group has announced the release of Plasticlicks, a sample library featuring over 1,500 totally fresh, ready-to-use drum sounds.

All the sounds in this collection have been designed completely from scratch with the goal of creating something truly unique in the world of electronic drums. Not a single preexisting sample has been used during the creation of these sounds: they’re all completely original, built from the ground up—a full spectrum of carefully designed drum sounds.

Get it now and you’ll see how rich and evocative synthetic drums truly can be when done right! Within this library you’ll find surgically precise sounds that will cut through your mix like a hot knife through butter. You’ll find short, aggressive percussion sounds and longer, metallic stabs; expressive and clean kicks, sometimes grimed with unusual hums. From entirely and purposefully synthetic timbres to almost acoustic-sounding drums, you’ll find it all here!

Plasticlicks features

• 1,611 different drum sounds created by sound designer Simplicius Simplicissimus.
• Sounds: Claps (39 patches), Closed Hihats (298 patches), Cowbells (19 patches), FX Hihats (99 patches), Hits (60 patches), Kicks (300 patches), Metal Percussion (16 patches), Mini Percussion (20 patches), Open Hihats (227 patches), Percussion (74 patches), SFX (33 patches), Shakers (40 patches), Snare Drum Substitutes (51 patches), Snare Drums (216 patches), Synthetic Percussion (109 patches), Tambourines (10 patches).
• Available in wav and SoundFont formats:
  • Wave files (sampled at 44100 kHz, 24 bits of resolution) + .akp files (Akai S5000/S6000 programs). Each .akp covers four different wave files sampled at one of four different velocity levels.
  • Sound Font 2 (sampled at 44100 kHz, 24 bits of resolution). Each sound font contains sampled sounds at four different velocity levels.

Plasticlicks is available to purchase for 69 EUR. A free demo sample pack can be downloaded from the product page.

The sample remix contest is over and the votes are in.

Before I announce the winners, I would like to quote Dion (NO-ID), who wrote in the comments:

Funny,there can be a last place … not a bad last place, just different. There so much talent here, that it was really an honor to be in it

I too think you all truly did a great job, and it has been a joy to me to listen to each and every one of your songs. Unfortunately we can only have a few winners (of prizes anyway), so here are the top three voted entries:

1. Happy Juice by Jackie
2. Offset Senses by 3ee
3. In the Gloaming by Rachmiel

With difference of only 2 points it was a pretty close call between Jackie and 3ee, and Jonas the plugexpert came in just one point behind Rachmiel’s third place win.

Jackie will receive the wonderful SilverLine Collection bundle of effect plug-ins by D16 Group. For second and third place winners 3ee and Rachmiel I have a sample library by Big Fish Audio. I will contact you with the details shortly.

Congratulations to the winners, and well done everyone! I hope to see you again for the next contest. Don’t forget to subscribe to the newsletter if you don’t want to miss it.
