Loopmasters has released Bop – Minimal Drum & Bass, a sample library by Russian producer Bop.

Hailing from Saint-Petersburg in Russia, Bop is a new breed of producer intent on re-writing the rulebook with an intoxicating ice-cold sound; embracing influences from Deep Techno and Minimalist Dubstep through to IDM and Ambient Drum & Bass, all released on the famous Hospital Records and Med School Labels.

This is the first collection of Minimal Drum and Bass Samples released through a major sample label and Loopmasters are proud to have worked with Hospital Records to release a cool collection of sounds and samples which are destined to help further this new and inspiring sub genre which draws inspiration from the speed of Drum & Bass and the minimal sound which is everywhere in the best clubs of the world right now.

Some interesting things I found recently:

# Gijs Gieskes Acid-Machine – A machine that makes sort of party like music.. (it can also make other types of music).

Gijs explains:

The circle with the lines that you see on the top of the machine, rotates and displays the note you are playing. When you play a C the lines in the middle circle will be standing still.. from the C it will go outward, displaying all notes on a keyboard in 12 steps. It works by making a LED blink in the frequency of the sound, and rotating the image at a set speed. For the distance between the lines i used this table, it displays musical frequencys in centimeters. The sound part of the machine is based on logic ICs, but it also has a simple noise generator, and a filter. The sound the synth generates, is a 4 bit saw, or the same saw clipped to a square. The 4 bit saw is made with a binary counter and a resistor ladder. A nice feature is that you can mix in the binary pins, making one octave jumping chords (like c1 + c2 + c3 or d1 + d2 + d3 and so on).
