These unique Kits showcase Progressive Trance in all its glory and are loaded with cutting-edge percussion, glitched-out FX, euphoric melodies, pounding drums and the most driving of chunky basslines.

So you're about to start your next track, you know you want to follow the Deep House sound and your mind's drawing a blank.

You've spent hours playing with synth sounds, trying to get your baseline deep and sublime but it's not cutting it, well that's where Zenhiser comes to the rescue with 'Deep House Groovers'.

Colours features crisp, sharp and modern sounds, as well as warmly distorted presets, lush pads and evocative ambient patches.

Designed to work well for both Modern and Classic Trance, and ready for use in building those towering melodic sound-scapes that inspired us to create this music in the first place. Presets have modwheel assignments and the FX are judiciously applied so you can drop these presets straight in the mix with minimal adjustments.

BIAS don't talk Anymore?

Their website seems to be closed and nobody answers...
Is the end of BIAS and their very nice softwares? We was surprised by the new multitrack option and we think it was a mistake...

So, what about Peak Users (all versions)? If anybody at BIAS read us, could you send us some news about that disaster?

The source instrument for Analog Piano is the Crumar ColorSound CompacPiano, an awful name for a wonderful machine.

The ColorSound was intended as a stage piano, but derived all its onboard sounds from good old analogue electronics. It has three preset tones, of which it's the piano that makes you stop and take note: rich, solid, satisfying, and with a natural affinity for contemporary music styles. In many ways it straddles the tonal qualities of an acoustic and an electric piano, sounding more like a "real" piano than a Rhodes or Wurli, but with the same EP-style grunt and heat to the sound. The other two preset tones, HonkyTonk and Clav, are less convincing as instrument emulations.
