DISC Zero G Pro Samples The Operating Table

Full Description

The Operating Table is a stunning virtual instrument featuring an amazingly flexible new library of breaks with irresistible feel and compelling usability, from Emre Ramazanoglu, the producer who brought you the five-star-award-winning "Return To The Planet Of The Breaks".

All the breakbeats in The Operating Table derive their feel and sonic basis from live drumming technique (though some are creatively processed), and were performed by one of four featured drummers (Emre Ramazanoglu or Dave Westlake, with contributions from Jack Yglesias and Steve Ashmore). The recordings were made in London at Metropolis, Padded Cell, Walworth Cage, Triangle, and Line of Flight.

'The Operating Table' was conceived as an alternative to genre-based sample CDs, offering sample-accurate live drum loops with an equal emphasis on diversity of sound and quality of performance. The emphasis has been on creating unique-sounding breaks through extremely creative processing techiques, but with the real feel of a performance to them.

The performances range from four bars to extremely long, and each changes and evolves, providing multiple loop variations. Real kits are the foundation of the sound of each break, although some incorporate additional live triggered analog drum machines or software triggered sounds. Each bar of each break has been designed to loop perfectly as a 1 bar break (sample accurate BPM), or as part of the whole evolving sequence.

Emre Ramazanoglu is a London Based session drummer and producer whose recent credits include The Prodigy, William Orbit, Tricky, Bobby Gillespie and Sikth. He is currently drumming for, engineering and mixing Tom Middleton's Debut Solo Album for P Records. Dave Westlake is the drummer with the Sneaker Pimps and session drummer for Medieval Babes amongst others.

The whole library is presented within a stunning new state-of-the-art plug-in interface by Native Instruments which is specifically designed for rhythmic loop playback, manipulation, and mayhem. The convenient one-screen interface is a version of (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.
