Steinberg introduces new Sequel Funky and Elektro Content Sets

Over 540 MB of new loops for the latest versions of both Sequel and

Cubase are now available 

Two new Content Sets for Steinberg's popular Sequel 2 Music
Creation and Performance Software are available to download now..




The two new sets each add over
250 MB of first-class loops to the already formidable loop library
included with Sequel 2 covering the genres Funk and Electro. Crafted
by professional audio content producers, the new sets are exclusively
available through Steinberg’s website at

and Drum and Bass. The Funky Content Set offers over 290 MB for
both the latest 21st century funk grooves as well as traditional funk
sounds reminiscent of the golden age of funk in the 1970s – and
everything in between. All Sequel Content Sets feature Construction
Kits, a system that groups together ‘related’ audio material out-of-the-
box, offering an ideal way of getting started with any of the Sequel
loop collections.

Kore blimey!

ALL music makers instantly recognise the name Native Instruments.
For the uninitiated it's not a firm that makes bongos, tablasi or the latest in designer didgeridoos, it's a long-established firm that turns out top-notch VSTs, plug-ins and standalones.

As a dyed-in-the-wool West Ham fan, I don't much like the use of the word 'arsenal' but as I like NI I'll let the firm have its say.............

Native Instruments has just introduced KORE ELECTRONIC EXPERIENCE, a comprehensive arsenal of cutting-edge sound material for electronic music production.

KORE ELECTRONIC EXPERIENCE merges seven KORE SOUNDPACKS into a single package at a substantial price advantage. Ready for use with the included KORE PLAYER and with KORE 2, KORE ELECTRONIC EXPERIENCE is a highly capable instrument and effects processor in its own right.

With 800 distinctive instrument sounds, 150 powerful multi-effects and ten unique drum kits, KORE ELECTRONIC EXPERIENCE offers a deep selection of inspiring studio-quality sounds, specifically designed for contemporary electronic music styles as well as for movie and game scoring.


The bundle includes BEST OF ABSYNTH, BEST OF REAKTOR VOL. 1, DEEP TRANSFORMATIONS, FM8 TRANSIENT ATTACKS, MASSIVE EXPANSION VOL. 1 and SYNTHETIC DRUMS RELOADED, as well as an online voucher for the download of an additional sound pack of the user's choice from the remaining KORE SOUNDPACK arsenal.


With the included KORE PLAYER software, KORE ELECTRONIC EXPERIENCE is ready to play both as a standalone instrument as well as within any music sequencer application. By taking full advantage of advanced KORE features like Sound Variations and preset morphing, sound categorization and unified controller assignments, KORE ELECTRONIC EXPERIENCE is ideally suited to bring inspiration and convenience to contemporary electronic music production.

 

KORE ELECTRONIC EXPERIENCE is available for a suggested retail price of £169.99 inc VAT, and is available now!
