Series 3 includes 6 new modules with samples being processed with M/S, phase cancellation and some ethnic comb filtering.

The DruMM Layering concept is explored even further with Series 3 offering more manic frequency warping, more scratches and vinyl samples, and some knee 'jellying' percussion.

If you feel man enough, then add L.E.W.D - Low End Warp Device, the ultimate Low End Drum and Bass module to your beat production arsenal and rattle a nut or two!

When layering the modules from different Series, please be aware that STN accept no liability for any emotional issues that may arise from the use of DruMM. There have been reports of users talking to themselves and using Sith language. This, however, has not been confirmed.

Each module is priced at $8 and each series costs $40!

ILIO has just released a collection of 100 new patches for Omnisphere that have been engineered for creating the latest styles of EDM (Electronic Dance Music). Loaded up with staple sounds such as wobble basses, pulsing basses, pads, atmospheres, leads, risers, percussive loops, and BPM-driven modulated synths, EDM Fire patches are certain to bring a modern vibe to music productions.

While EDM Fire focuses primarily on Electronic Dance Music styles, they are a great fit for pop, hip-hop, and even film, promo, and television music production. Each patch has been meticulously crafted, pulling from both Omnisphere's powerful synthesis engine as well as its vast arsenal of included sonic samplings.
