5Pin Media has released Glitch Hop Beats, a new MIDI Focus series sound library.

Yet again uber beatsmith Dan Larsson serves up a collection of mesmerizing broken beats with plenty snap, bite and venom for the ever growing Glitch Hop, Moombahton and Dubstep fraternity.

Designed for both producers and DJs alike the sounds and MIDI are arranged across twelve drum kits with 4 unique grooves per kit. Each groove has further been broken down into 2 parts, with the second part featuring some sick glitch action. As with all 5Pin products the MIDI and Sounds are all clearly labeled and organized for quick and easy access.

To make the combination of patterns to sounds virtually endless the kits and MIDI have all been mapped consistently and as close to the GM standard as possible allowing for the playing of any kit with any of the included MIDI files. Be bold and experiment, we guarantee you will be rewarded by the results.

Celemony has introduced Melodyne and Remix, a new tutorial series for the Melodyne audio editing software.

In a new tutorial feature devoted to the creative use of Melodyne, Celemony is focussing on remixing.

Melodyne is known as a great tool for the correction of intonation errors and the optimization of vocal tracks, but is capable of much more. A series of video tutorials now shows how Melodyne helps to separate a vocal part from its accompaniment, how to produce crazy echoes and other effects with Melodyne’s characteristic audio notes and how to use audio-to-MIDI to double or replace sounds.

Fundamentals, such as how to adapt loops fast to new musical contexts and the more efficient use of Melodyne in a DAW, are also dealt with. Artists’ interviews and statements, important tips from the manual, remix examples from users, and a buyer’s guide to the various editions of Melodyne round off the series of tutorials.
