Loopmasters has introduced a new volume in the floor-shaking series of filter house-inspired sample libraries by Monster Sounds.
The royalty free Daft Funk 4 contains 1.27GB of bouncing beats, fonky b-lines, Chic-esque guitars, vibey keys and much more.
Daft Funk has always been about capturing the essence of France’s world-conquering ’90s house sound, with its defining funk and disco influences, and that evocative vinyl-sampled texture, and Daft Funk 4 kicks off with 89 ‘Combi and Filter Loops’. Designed to provide instant inspiration, whether used as-is or reshaped and layered into the mix, these consummately performed individual and ensemble instrument parts (drums, bass and guitar, for example) have been processed using a rack of top-tier outboard and run through the analogue filter of a Yamaha CS-5 synth for that authentic filter house styling. From pumping side chained grooves and ‘club next door’ basses to melodic risers and epic stabs, it’s a candy store of sonic treats!
Beyond that, Daft Funk 4 is packed to the rafters with ready-to-go drums, from four-square to breaksy; evocatively processed basses, including a super fat ’74 Gibson Grabber; achingly funky guitar riffs and licks; richly animated synth pads and arps; and sublime electric piano lines, drawing on a 1978 Rhodes Stage 73 Mk I and a Waldorf Zarenbourg. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a filter house sample library without an ear-catching collection of vocoder and talkbox loops, and Daft Funk 4’s 39-strong arsenal epitomise the gallic sound of the genre.
The sample pack is priced £29.95 GBP at the Loopmasters store.
