, 400The idea behind Zero-G Modular Beats was to make a usable, unique and fresh sounding drum and percussion library. To do that, no samples or drum machines have been used. The sounds and loops are 100% original and created using only modular synthesizers and analog monosynths. The basis of each sound is oscillators and noise generators. Over 25 GB of raw material and 4000 work hours have gone into this library.

With over 1.5Gb of original material and 400 loops, 400 single hits and 300 modular drum kit instruments (containing over 2000 drum hits) designed for use in Kontakt, EXS24 and Reason, Zero-G Modular Beats contains everything from dance grooves to scary cinematic beats and with all those analog drum kits you'll be able to make your very own fully analog loops in no time.

With over 3.3Gb of all original material in 24bit audio recreating the classic dance sounds of the 1970s and 1980s, Club Classics is the largest and most authentic sample library of its kind ever produced.

All of its 38 construction kits are a downright delight just to listen to, let alone dissect for creative use. The main styles of the library focus on the genius grooves of 70s and 80s dance classics and you really don't get any more authentic than this.

Like Jam Tracks, Clear Scales focuses on the Pentatonic scale, which is arguably the most ubiquitous scale in modern music and generally the first one that beginner guitar players are taught, due to its familiar sound and "out-of-the-box" simplicity.

Clear Scales packages the Pentatonic scale neatly onto one screen, displaying all five charts in easy to read boxes.

To increase dexterity across the fretboard, players can transpose the charts into various keys using a single tap. The UI is designed to be aesthetically pleasing and conducive to stress-free practice. Clear Scales gets its name from the ability to tap and zoom, giving players a high resolution, full-screen look at each chart so they can quickly focus their attention and improve their skills at a faster rate.
