DISC East West Percussive Adventures 2

Full Description

The future of sampling is here...

Native Instruments, East-West, and Zero-G have joined forces to unite the world`s premier sample content with the finest in sampling technology.

Percussive Adventures 2 is produced by Kurt Wortman and Tony Humecke who contributed most of the material for PA1, and includes 5.3 Gigabytes (!!!) of multi-layered performances of percussion compositions for multi-media productions.

Large percussive soundscapes are included covering most styles of music.

The producers have gone all out on this sequel to offer the maximum flexibility. For example, multiple alternate mixes of each loop are presented to enable users to customize the loops to work with their track, or use as building-blocks for new compositions.

The library includes a stunning new state-of-the-art plug-in audio engine/interface from NATIVE INSTRUMENTS which is specifically designed for rhythmic loop playback, manipulation, and mayhem.

The convenient one-screen interface is based on (and provides all the sound manipulation tools of) NI`s new INTAKT sampler, and features tremendous sound shaping abilities without disrupting the creative flow, including a first-class multimode filter, an envelope follower, two LFOs, effects, and more. The loops have been set up so that they can be automatically synced to tempo, either via the Beat Machine or the Time Machine. The Beat Machine has loops divided into their individual hits (slices) which means they can be played at a wide range of tempos without any change in pitch. It also allows the user to give each hit individual settings for pitch, playback direction, pitch envelope, amp envelope, distortion, delay, and more; a MIDI file of each loop can be easily exported so that groove, accent, and feel can be manipulated in any host sequencer. The Time Machine time-stretches or compresses loops in real time.

Not only can you sync, stretch, and pitch the loops, but also filter, effect and modulate them as well! A powerful sound-shaping filter, flexible envelopes, syncable LFOs, and distortion, syncable delay, and lo-fi effects can inject even more energy and individuality into the loops. Since the software interface is based on the KONTAKT engine, working with it is fast, easy, and it sounds great!
