10 Soundware, a new extensional sound design imprint of 9 Soundware, has released its debut product, Mixer Feedback model Y EM-90A K.

Mixer Feedback model Y EM-90A K by 10 Soundware is a sound set for Native Instruments Kontakt 5. Designed by Taichi Furudate, these patches are based on audio captured from a no-input mixer, an instrument contrived by connecting the output of an audio mixer with its input to incite feedback. The first in a series of four titles, each centered on a different mixer, this release features an extremely rare, antiquated (presumably dating back to the early 1970's), and idiosyncratic model by a Japanese manufacturer.


The 87.2 MB download includes 50 .nki files, 201 WAV files (24-bit/44.1 kHz), and 8 .mid files.

Kings of Bhangra Vol 3 is the latest in this truly inspirational series from award-winning soundtrack composer and producer Gaurav Dayal. This set of five stunning Construction Kits includes 130 loops and samples per format, recorded on the finest instruments played by the most experienced musicians.

This pack features a choice of ACID WAV, Apple Loops, REX and ReFill formats. From the producer of the immense 'Classic Bollywood' sample library, comes 'Kings of Bhangra Vol 3', a multi-format collection of five Construction Kits fusing traditional Indian musical elements with contemporary Bhangra and Urban styles.
