Record it all through a Neve console and mix on an SSL Duality.

Instruments include drums, bass, electric and acoustic guitars, piano, organ, synth, luscious live strings and much more…

Time+Space has announced the release of Pure Rex, a sound library from Zero-G.

Zero-G Pure Rex is a definitive collection of more than 3,000 professionally-produced REX files spanning a huge range of genres and styles of music.

From Electro, Disco, Urban and Metal to Chillout, Trance, World and plenty of weird and wonderful experimental sounds, Pure Rex is crammed with inspiration to give you a massive creative boost.

The high quality sounds in Pure Rex have all been carefully handpicked from 34 top selling Zero-G/Xfonic libraries including Ian Boddy’s Odyssey, House Fabrik, Disco Gold, Club Classics, Brazil Chillout and Indian Dance Classics to name just a few.

Why Rex files?
Rex files are one of the most flexible formats to work with! REX files are loops that are divided into slices using Propellerhead’s ReCycle software application. This means that when you’re using REX files in your music, you can slow down or speed up the tempo and the REX file will follow.

You can also trigger the individual slices of a REX file loop independently of each other to create your own rhythms and riffs. REX files work with a wide variety of software applications like Logic, Pro Tools, Cubase, Sonar, Live and Spectrasonics Stylus RMX.

Pure Rex is available to purchase as a download exclusively from Time+Space, priced at RRP: £39.95 GBP / 47.95 EUR / $63.95 USD.
