At the core, the CP-70 is a piano with strings and hammers with a pickup system for electric amplification. Originally released in the 1970′s as a "portable grand piano" for use on rock tours, the sound was made famous by Genesis, Kansas, U2 and more recently Keane.

The CP-70 can be compared to that of a Rhodes or Wurlitzer electric piano, but due to the use of strings instead of tines, it sounds much more like a traditional piano. The metallic strings amplified by electric pickups further characterize the CP70 as its own class of piano, giving it a guitar-like sound at times.

Played by Swedish powerhouse drummer Owe Lingvall, this MIDI pack comes stocked with a variety of songs in different feels, styles and tempos. Part from the individual, full 4-8 bar song structure building blocks (verse, pre chorus, chorus, bridge, fill etc.), it also includes each entire performance from start to finish as a Jamtrack, which means you can fire that up and jam along to the original take right away.

- Approximately 450 individually played files
- Categorized in different songs
- Full intro / verse / pre-chorus / chorus / bridge / fill sections & variations
- Full Jamtrack of each song performance
- Ballad / Halftime / Midtempo / Uptempo / Shuffle variations

No complaints, no coffee breaks, only rock!

30.8676 Hz is a 100-preset collection for the Ultra Analog VA-1 analog synthesizer and AAS Player plug-ins focusing on analog bass sounds by renowned sound designer Andre Ettema. Split in two, the Movements presets make heavy use of the arpeggiator for some ferocious thumping action while the Stills presets propose a fine dose of fat, snoring, and wobbly analog goodness.


PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
The 30.8676 Hz sounds bank is available now for $39.

This pack is the first in a fresh new collection of samples from Samplecraze incorporating some interesting new dynamic techniques that entail M/S, polarity inversions and phase offsets at varying degress. This affords even wider sounds than the norm with specific frequency removals to allow for even more in depth layering.

With this new approach in mind I am more than happy to offer this monster pack that contains a select choice of drum and bass samples that span across 400 samples in total.
Broken down into 336 super wide and deep drum samples: 96 low end punished kicks that are the thickest and deepest Samplecraze has even released, 96 super layered, biting and wide snares that savage through the mix, 48 of the sweetest and wettest layered claps to date and 48 hi hats that have immense presence and sparkle. This completes the drum sample section.

But a low end sample pack is never complete unless it has a dedicated bass loop section. 70 low end barrier breaking bass loops, ranging from 80 BPM to 95 BPM, from upright funk to downright filthy subs and spread over 40 specific and varied riffs these loops contain tempo and key information and are Acidized for ease of use.
