Ryan Gruss has announced the release of Gruss Loops – Volume II, a collection of drum loops.

Each set of loops contains multiple groove variations (with both hi hat and ride cymbal) and drum fills. From straight and simple verse beats to big and open chorus grooves, you’ll find everything you need to arrange your own custom drum tracks.

Not only do you get a wide variety of grooves and tempos, you’ll also get the vast range of production sounds and styles you’ve come to know from this blog. With my extensive collection of drums, cymbals and microphones, I’ll provide you with plenty of fresh and unique beats every month to keep you inspired.

Gruss Loops – Volume II features

• Over 100 drum grooves.
• All loops are 24-bit stereo 48 kHz.
• Formats: WAV, REX2, & AIFF.

Some interesting things I found recently:

# A Deal You Can’t Refuse | ryangruss.com

Ryan is about to release Volume II of his subscription based drum loops service, so in the next few days you can get over 200 loops for only $9.95.

As I’m putting the finishing touches on Gruss Loops Volume II, I realized I should make you painfully aware of the sweet deal that currently lays before you. You see, since I’m offering the loop packs as a subscription service, there will be over 200 loops available over the course of the next two days. That’s right. You could sign up now, grab Volume I right now AND Volume II in another 24 hours…. all for the rock bottom price of $9.95. You can even cancel after you nab both of the packs. See if I care (you cheap bastard). I know you’ll be back for more.

# SX-150 synth mod instructions, schematics and code

MrBook did a lovely Arduino hack on the Gakken SX-150, adding MIDI and audio out.

Many people have asked about the instructions and code for the SX-150 mod I did to add MIDI and Audio out, therefore I’m posting the plans for everyone to try. By using the Arduino as the brains of the operation, a lot of other options are available for the mod, really the sky is the limit. If you do any cool hacks to it, by all means, please let me know.

# OTTO

OTTO by Luca de Rosso is an electronic musical instrument for realtime manual beat slicing of audio samples.

OTTO provides a tangible user interface designed with the aim of giving the user the feel of having the sample in his hands. The musician can manipulate an audio sample in real time through the use of a restricted number of simple physical buttons and switches.

Ryan Gruss has released Gruss Loops Volume 1, a collection of drum loops in WAV, REX2, & AIFF formats.

I’ve decided to change the way you not only buy drum loops, but how you think about using them. By using a subscription-based approach, I am able to give you 100+ new loops every month as well as in-depth commentary about the recording process, my thoughts and inspirations for each groove and I’ll even show you ticks and trips for arranging the loops to create your own custom drum parts. You’re not just getting a zip file full of loops, you’ll get inside the head of the drummer who created them (for better or for worse).

Gruss Loops subscription features

• Instant access to 100 + new loops every month (WAV, REX2, & AIFF).
• High quality 24-bit stereo 48 kHz files.
• Each set of loops contains multiple groove variations (with both hi hat and ride cymbal) and drum fills. From straight and simple verse beats to big and open chorus grooves, you’ll find everything you need to arrange your own custom drum tracks.
• Vast range of production sounds and styles (from an extensive collection of drums, cymbals and microphones) for fresh and unique beats.
• 100% Royalty Free, no additional licensing is necessary to use these beats for commercial purposes.

You can get access to the loops in the Members Only section by subscribing at $9.95 USD per month, or $99.95 for a Yearly Membership (20% savings).
