From the makers of the best-selling Urban Ammunition, Urban Definition is packed with live instruments, synths and FX for Hip Hop, R&B, Gangsta Rap, Modern Pop, Urban Dance and more.

Think Kanye West, Timbaland, Dr Dre and Will.i.am and you'll get a feel for the types of sounds to expect in this massive multiformat collection. Featuring 48 construction kits, Urban Definition is crammed with over 1,050 bass, piano, string, flute, guitar and drum loops, 1,550 single hits and over 50 multi-sampled synth instruments – everything you need to produce your next hit track!

Hip Hop Essentials adds 30 hip hop kits to Arturia's acclaimed SPARK Creative Drum Machine. Carefully crafted by LA- based producer and hip hop whizz Rick Stone, these deliver everything urban artists and producers need to take their tracks to the next level of genre-defining creativity — from classic rap anthems through to the most recent dance styles and beyond into rough and edgy alternative hip hop territory.

Having produced, remixed, or designed sounds for artists as diverse as Ice Cube, Snoop, Dr Dre, Lil Wayne, Whitney Houston, and Lil Kim, as well as working with Deathrow Records and Motown, Stone should know a thing or two about creative stylistic shifts — and creating hits with the finest urban beats.

LuSH-101 is a synthesizer created from modules that can be found in many modern virtual synthesizers, all combined into a single compact and logically intuitive design. This basic simplicity combined with its multilayer architecture turns it into an easy-to-use but extremely powerful instrument that can be programmed and tweaked quickly.

The multilayer architecture guarantees that both the sound design possibilities and number of unique situations in which LuSH-101 can be used are virtually limitless. Any combination of keyboard splits, layers, and
multitimbrality is possible with just a single instance of LuSH-101. Each layer working as an independent synthesizer with its own polyphony, parameters, enhanced arpeggiator, and a palette of eight insert effects.
