<p>Fusing the underground sounds of pumping afterhours house with subtle disco, minimal, tribal and techno elements, Organic House delivers 870+MB of beautifully programmed loops in our industry-standard 24-bit 44.1khz key-labelled two-bar format.</p>
<p>Sparkling with detail, the sparseness of the sounds allows for instant inspiration with quick and easy layering at its heart. Ideally suited to all genres of four-to-the-floor music, loops come at 125 and 128bpm with flexible variations offered for many of the samples.<br />
<span id="more-88"></span><br />
What’s in the collection?<br />
Drum Loops &gt; From deep to tribal, funky to techno: 200+ precision-programmed mainroom-melters served up with full, percussive and stripped variants for ultimate programming ease.</p>
<p>Kick-Free Top Loops &gt; 100+ pared-down hats, silky shakers, minimal workouts and primed beat-starters: simply add kick and layer.</p>
<p>Percussive Loops &gt; From composite tribal ensembles to deep, stripped latin and sunset grooves: 100+ re-programmed organic rhythms with a live touch.</p>
<p>Bass Loops &gt; From jackin’ Juno jives to sparse low-end boom: a choice selection of cone ticklers.<br />
Music Loops &gt; Dirty funk filters, techie stabs, jazzy disco keys, raw soul guitars, glitched vocals and raw Rhodes are cut’n’pasted into 90+ all-original copyright-free song-starting music loops. A huge grab-bag of inspiration.</p>
<p>Synth Loops &gt; Classic keys, synthetic pads, beachy-synths and more &#8211; all supplied dry.</p>
<p>Combi Loops &gt; Frequently imitated but rarely bettered: a ready-rolled selection of instant loop-kits, featuring music and drum loops fully separated with added variants for you to drop &amp; go.</p>
<p>FX &amp; FX Loops &gt; Nu-disco hits, vox slices, syncopated electro jams plus an expanded collection of backing dust, detail and glitched vocal loops.</p>
<p>Drum Hits &amp; One Shots &gt; 400+ of the finest kicks, snares, claps, hats and percussive hits around &#8211; all passed through the famed Sample Magic signal chain for unparalleled warmth and air.</p>
<p>Organic House features:  Wav, Rex2 &amp; RMX-compatible Rex2 loops, Apple Loops, EXS24, Reason NN-XT and Kontakt III patches. Digital only download £49.95.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-76" title="SONiVOX_VOCALIZER_BOX" src="http://press.soundsandgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/SONiVOX_VOCALIZER_BOX-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" />New technology synthesis engine coupled with input based synthesis delivers creative new tool for vocalists and non-vocalists alike</em></p>
<p><em>SONiVOX, Boston MA, based award-winning music software company today offered a pre-release preview complete with MP3 and Video examples of the first instrument from their new NEMESYNTH Audio Research Group, VOCALIZER &#8211; Vocal Production Synthesizer.</em></p>
<p><em>VOCALIZER is a completely new concept in modern music production that couples a new technology synthesis engine with an open input based architecture. VOCALIZER is one part effect plugin and one part virtual instrument. Vocalists, non-vocalists, &amp; producers feed VOCALIZER any audio source, and it re-pitches, effects, and re-synthesizes the original source into a whole new sound.<span id="more-75"></span></em><em>Primarily designed for vocal use, vocalists will enjoy the vast options afforded by VOCALIZER to add previously unattainable dimensions to their voice. Inversely, non-vocalists will enjoy the opportunity to use their voices in musical ways that they previously thought impossible.</em></p>
<p><em> </em>VOCALIZER also works well with other types of inputs. Drum &amp; percussion tracks fed through VOCALIZER result in complex synth lines that perfectly sync to the original dry drum &amp; percussion parts. Other input sounds afford a powerful and flexible new approach to sound design. VOCALIZER users can take any sound and use it as a shaping tool to be VOCALIZED.</p>
<p>The VOCALIZER marks the first release from SONiVOX’s NEMESYNTH Audio Research Group. Spearheaded by noted audio guru and scientist Jim Van Buskirk, pioneer inventor of the virtual instrument, modern computer driven sampling, and real-time low-latency convolution, SONiVOX’s NEMESYNTH Audio Research Group’s sole purpose is to discover, research, &amp; develop revolutionary new enabling technologies for musicians everywhere.</p>
<p><em><span style="font-style: normal;">VOCALIZER &#8211; Vocal Production Synthesizer is MAC &amp; PC compatible and will work with most major DAW software as a VST, AU, and RTAS plugin.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-style: normal;">VOCALIZER &#8211; Vocal Production Synthesizer is slated for a release date of October 1st 2010 with a MSRP of $149.99 and an estimated street price of $99.99</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-style: normal;">SONiVOX claims that VOCALIZER must be heard to be believed and invites all to checkout the VOCALIZER videos and mp3 examples at <a href="http://www.sonivoxmi.com/" target="_blank">www.sonivoxmi.com</a></span></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-70" title="ni session strings" src="http://press.soundsandgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ni-session-strings1.png" alt="" width="170" height="200" />Berlin, June 14th, 2010 &#8211; Native Instruments today introduced SESSION STRINGS, a versatile virtual string ensemble for KONTAKT 4 and the free KONTAKT PLAYER. Brought to life through the advanced functionality of the KONTAKT platform, SESSION STRINGS provides charismatic, highly expressive acoustic string sounds for pop, soul, R&amp;B, disco, house and other contemporary music styles.</p>
<p>SESSION STRINGS recreates a string ensemble comprising four violins, three violas, two celli and two double basses, captured and produced in one of Germany&#8217;s most renowned recording studios by sampling expert Thomas Koritke&#8217;s new sound design house e-instruments. All recordings were taken from exclusive instruments from the 18th and 19th century, played by top musicians from some of the finest European orchestras, resulting in outstanding tone and articulations on the highest level of musical virtuosity.<span id="more-71"></span></p>
<p>By fully utilizing the advanced features of the KONTAKT platform, SESSION STRINGS puts the full expressive arsenal of a world-class string ensemble at the fingertips of the user. The individual instrument groups are mapped conveniently across the keyboard, with intelligent legato and glissando based on dedicated samples. Easily controllable falls, swoops and crescendo variations allow producers to create soulful and dynamic string licks with ease.</p>
<p>The authenticity and creative value of SESSION STRINGS is further enhanced through the unique and highly versatile &#8220;Animator&#8221;. This powerful function can be engaged seamlessly during play to transform incoming notes into virtuous staccato, spiccato and pizzicato chords and arpeggios, with the timing and groove easily adjustable by the user, and while maintaining natural legato articulation at the same time. An integrated studio-grade convolution reverb also provides a variety of completely realistic room ambiences.</p>
<p>SESSION STRINGS also provides a full set of optional &#8220;Motown versions&#8221; for all included sounds, utilizing a special sonic treatment that authentically recreates the distinctive and highly sought-after vintage string sound of the legendary soul recordings from the 60s and 70s.</p>
<p>SESSION STRINGS is available for download purchase in the NI Online Shop for $119 / 99 EUR.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>HOLLYWOOD STRINGS virtual (software) instrument</strong>, is now shipping. HOLLYWOOD STRINGS is<strong> </strong>an advanced collection of orchestral string instruments that offers unprecedented control over sound and performance while delivering extraordinary creative power to composers and content producers for film, video, web and music. Multiple finger positions for all sections, including open strings, are available for the first time in a virtual instrument collection.</p>
<p>HOLLYWOOD STRINGS, as the name implies, is a blockbuster virtual instrument that has many groundbreaking features not found in any other virtual strings collection. For instance, this collection was engineered to include multiple finger positions throughout the entire range of the fingerboard of each sampled instrument. This range of positions allows composers to realize the true voicing and emotional content of a string section. Vibrato intensity and extensive dynamics, including five dynamics of up- and down-bowed sustains and notes, are also controllable by the composer. Extensive multi-dynamic true legato has been sampled for all sections in three different categories: slurred, portamento and bow change. This results in unsurpassed legato performance that has never been available in the sample world. HOLLYWOOD STRINGS has five user-controllable microphone positions including main pickup (Decca tree), mid pickup, close pickup, surround pickup and an alternate vintage circa 1945 RCA ribbon room pickup, delivering the full range of the string experience.</p>
<p>“The intent with the HOLLYWOOD STRINGS collection was to produce an extensive and musical sonic pallet covering every nuance of string performance,” says Doug Rogers, founder and producer for EASTWEST. “This collection is unrivaled in the industry on every level. We assembled a team to produce this collection that included QUANTUM LEAP producer Nick Phoenix, Thomas Bergersen, a highly respected composer and orchestrator in Hollywood, and the legendary sound engineer Shawn Murphy, who has worked on countless Hollywood mega-films from <em>Titanic</em>, <em>Star Wars</em> and <em>Jurassic Park </em>to <em>Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban</em>. The ensemble of sterling sound recordings, engineered in our award-winning EASTWEST STUDIO 1 with the finest equipment available by the top “ears” in the industry, has produced a string collection worthy of the name Hollywood, a name synonymous with world-leading, high-end films.”</p>
<p>HOLLYWOOD STRINGS comes supplied on a pre-configured hard drive. List price for HOLLYWOOD STRINGS is $1,695; an introductory price of $1,495 expires May 15, 2010</p>
<p>For more information and to order the collection, visit the EASTWEST Web site, <a href="http://www.soundsonline.com/hollywood-strings" target="_blank">http://www.soundsonline.com/hollywood-strings</a>, or in Europe <a href="http://www.soundsonline-europe.com/hollywood-strings" target="_blank">http://www.soundsonline-europe.com/hollywood-strings</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-60" style="margin: 10px;" title="NI_MASCHINE_screenshot_interface" src="http://press.soundsandgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/NI_MASCHINE_screenshot_interface-300x217.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="174" />Berlin, April 20th, 2010 &#8211; Native Instruments today released MASCHINE 1.5, a major free update that significantly increases the functionality and creative potential of the acclaimed computer-based music production system. With more classic drum machine features, improved host integration, new sampling functions, an extended sound library, and even more efficient workflow, the 1.5 software expands on the concept of MASCHINE as the most integrated and intuitive groove production studio for producers, live musicians and DJs.</p>
<p>To bring even more of the legacy of classic drum machines into the modern music production environment, MASCHINE 1.5 introduces two new &#8220;vintage sampler&#8221; modes that authentically emulate the gritty sonic signatures of the popular MPC-60 and SP-1200 models through sophisticated component modeling. The 1.5 version also loads the programs of nearly all MPC models ever built, opening up a vast resource of existing sound and sample material within MASCHINE.</p>
<p>MASCHINE 1.5 also enables a new and highly efficient level of DAW integration, with convenient host automation through new macro controls, MIDI pattern Drag&amp;Drop export, direct DAW recording of MASCHINE events, MIDI pitch bend and CC support, and more. The powerful real-time sampling features of MASCHINE benefit from extended slicing and mapping options that make it even easier to work with sampled grooves and other rhythmic loops. The 1.5 version also introduces a full arsenal of destructive audio editing functions for in-depth sample manipulation.</p>
<p>The MASCHINE 1.5 update includes a versatile assortment of additional instrument and drum sounds, based on a gigabyte of high-quality sample material. The library has been expanded with special versions of ABBEY ROAD 60s &amp; 70s DRUMs, authentic electric pianos and bass guitars from Scarbee, contemporary acoustic strings taken from the upcoming SESSION STRINGS instrument, sampled vintage analog synths, and carefully resampled MPC-60 hip hop kits from sample expert Goldbaby.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s a new distribution company that just came on the scene, catering to the smaller developers.  The president Stefan has been around the music industry for a while and I&#8217;ve dealt with him when he worked with EastWest.  Here&#8217;s the info I received from him in an email:</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-57" style="margin: 10px;" title="better music distribution" src="http://press.soundsandgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/better-music-distribution-300x194.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="175" />it is my pleasure to announce<strong> Better Music Distribution</strong> (<a href="http://www.bettermusicdistribution.com/" target="_blank">http://www.bettermusicdistribution.com</a>), the alternative source for sample libraries and virtual instruments for professional musicians &amp; composers. Experience the Difference!<br />
Our company is currently based out of beautiful Los Angeles. Our approach is to support and represent small developers that have creative ideas and a line of amazing sounding products they like to introduce to the US market.</p>
<p>I have been approached by many companies and developers looking for a US distribution, many of them not big enough to be considered by one of the large companies (or if, not without compromising too much). This is where <strong>Better Music Distribution</strong> will come in place by offering a fair trade distribution platform to reach out to customer and dealers across the USA and Canada.</p>
<p>Our focus is representing each company with as much attention to detail as possible. We understand the hard and sometimes long work that goes in each of these products and we would like to transfer this message of pride to the musician that considers to purchase any of these. There are quite a lot of amazing products already available or in the make and for each one of these developers we do offer our best to get them a &#8220;foot step&#8221; into the US market.</p>
<p>On the other hand <strong>Better Music Distribution</strong> will also search for new products and ideas that musicians &amp; composers have and we will communicate these back and encourage developers to work on products for such demands.</p>
<p>We are now very pleased to announce the official distribution for <strong>Imperfect Samples</strong> for the US. <strong>Matt Stedeford</strong> has found an amazing unique way to fit the needs of so many musicians that are looking for more organic sounds ( <a href="http://www.bettermusicdistribution.com/about-imperfect-samples" target="_blank">http://www.bettermusicdistribution.com/about-imperfect-samples)</a>.</p>
<p>Quote::<br />
&#8220;<em>The human brain is sensitive to the differences between an organic recording vs. a quantized sequenced track. This is a common problem with sequenced acoustic music. Many perfect commercial sample libraries can often sound midi-like, due to their perfect performance.&#8221;<br />
<span id="more-56"></span><br />
For example, would you expect a clarinet to sound perfect on every note during a performance, or would you expect possibly a subtle change in timbre at the start of or end of some of the notes, and perhaps some of the notes don&#8217;t sound perfect? The answer is of course, the latter.</p>
<p>The human brain is very sensitive when it comes to discerning the difference between a fake and a real recording, because of the human performance elements. Many sample libraries work so hard to achieve a &#8220;perfect&#8221; set of samples with all the best takes, that they are losing the very element that makes the samples sound desirable and musical.</p>
<p>After years of searching for imperfect samples, Matt Stedeford set out to create imperfect sample libraries to use with his work</em>&#8220;.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">There are currently two unique pianos available, starting for as little as $59.95 each (for the basic download versions)<br />
</span><strong>Hohner White Baby Grand by Imperfect Samples</strong><br />
The <strong>Hohner White Baby Grand</strong> (complete) is a highly versatile multiple perspective package, containing a breathtaking 3 microphone perspectives with 17 velocity layers in each, along with release samples, piano effects and performance sounds. A choice of 3 microphone perspective, with 24bit audio fidelity, the <strong>Hohner White Baby Grand</strong> is the largest sampled piano library available.</p>
<p>An original <strong>Hohner Schwarzwald White Baby Grand Piano</strong> was painstakingly recorded to create this beautiful instrument. As with all Imperfect Samples&#8217; libraries, the emphasis has been placed on achieving a hyper-real and convincing sampled instrument, with performance sounds.</p>
<p><strong>Hohner White Baby Grand</strong> (complete) Download Version (MSRP $179.95) DVD Set (MSRP $199.95)<br />
<strong>Hohner White Baby Grand</strong> (pro) Download Version (MSRP $129.95)<br />
<strong>Hohner White Baby Grand</strong> (basic) Download Version (MSRP $59.95)</p>
<p>All details about the <strong>Hohner White Baby Grand</strong> versions are available here:<br />

<p><strong>Braunschweig Upright Piano by Imperfect Samples</strong><br />
The <strong>Braunschweig Upright Piano</strong> has a distinctive sound character that&#8217;s far more intimate than a grand piano, making it desirable for certain situations where you don&#8217;t want the polished and precise sound of a nine-foot grand in a concert hall.</p>
<p>An original <strong>Schimmel Braunschweig Upright Piano</strong> was painstakingly recorded to create this beautiful instrument. As with all Imperfect Samples instruments, the emphasis has been placed on achieving a hyper-real and convincing sampled instrument, with performance sounds.</p>
<p>Sampled in multiple velocity layers, with release samples, and true staccato, the Schimmel Braunschweig Upright Piano was recorded at 24 bits. This sampled instrument&#8217;s raw and distinctive sound is unlike any other piano sample library currently available.</p>
<p>The life-like <strong>Braunschweig Upright</strong> (Pro) is the largest single upright piano library in the world. The <strong>Braunschweig Upright </strong>(Pro) contains 14 velocity layers of one microphone perspective, and 11 layers of another. Totaling over 15GB of data (5GB for the none Pro version with 8 velocity layers and one Mic position), this upright piano library not only sounds real, it has a versatility not before seen in upright piano sample libraries.</p>
<p><strong>Braunschweig Upright Piano</strong> (pro) Download Version (MSRP $129.95); Boxed DVD Set (MSRP $149.95)<br />
<strong>Braunschweig Upright Piano</strong> (basic) Download Version (MSRP $59.95)</p>
<p>All details about the <strong>Braunschweig Upright Piano</strong> versions are available here:<br />
<a href="http://www.bettermusicdistribution.com/new-releases/7-braunschweig-upright-piano" target="_blank">http://www.bettermusicdistribution.com/new-releases/7-braunschweig-upright-piano</a></p>
<p>Please note that current formats available are EXS24 and Kontakt (Player is not included).<br />
All download versions will be delivered within 48 hours (during regular business hours, orders over the weekend will be processed Mondays). The boxed retails versions will ship via USPS or FedEx.</p>
<p>Upcoming releases:<br />
<strong>Imperfect Samples</strong> is currently working on their master piece and we are very excited about this project. The <strong>Fazioli Ebony Concert Grand</strong> will be the most expensive pianos ever being sampled and once completed, the world largest sampled grand piano ever!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-54" style="margin: 10px;" title="NI_Paranormal_Spectrums_Packshot" src="http://press.soundsandgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/NI_Paranormal_Spectrums_Packshot-244x300.png" alt="" width="195" height="240" />Berlin, April 15th, 2010 – Native Instruments today introduced PARANORMAL SPECTRUMS, a new KORE-powered instrument that creates mysterious and unsettling sonic atmospheres. For use with KORE 2 and the free KORE PLAYER, PARANORMAL SPECTRUMS is a powerful resource for suspenseful film and game scores in the horror, thriller and mystery domain, and is also suitable for dark electronic music styles.</p>
<p>Based on atmospheric field recordings, unusual sampled sounds and intricate synthesizer programming, PARANORMAL SPECTRUMS offers a wide assortment of evocative pads and sinister soundscapes, as well as intense mallets, flutes, bells and synth sounds that are both original and highly playable. It takes advantage of the integrated engines of KORE 2 and KORE PLAYER, combining the advanced sampling features of KONTAKT with the versatile synthesis functions of MASSIVE and ABSYNTH and the sound processing capabilities of GUITAR RIG to create deep, complex and charismatic sounds that can be efficiently modulated and brought to life.</p>
<p>PARANORMAL SPECTRUMS provides 100 KoreSounds with eight morphable Sound Variations each, resulting in 800 individual sounds. Concise parameter assignments allow for immediate, intuitive sound tweaking in KORE 2 and KORE PLAYER. Full musical metadata for all presets also makes PARANORMAL SPECTRUMS integrate seamlessly with any individual collection of KORE instruments.</p>
<p>PARANORMAL SPECTRUMS is available for download in the NI Online Shop for $79 / 69 EUR.</p>
<p>A video explaining the concept and creation process of the instrument is available on YouTube at<br />
