A quick comparison of string section patches from 4 different Kontakt libraries. It's cool to see how each developer approaches their sound differently. From the rooms, to the musicians and playing styles. Which one do you like the most? Each section plays 4 notes/chords, then the whole set repeats. Products used: Cinesamples CineSymphony LITE, Spitfire BML Sable Ensembles, NI Session Strings Pro, ProjectSAM Orchestral Essentials.

Everywhere You Go

Snare drum excellence is what Cadences is all about.  MSXII is proud to present to you the art of incredible tuning, vintage snare drums, and a blended stack of snares full of cadences that will add a nice new color to your production.  Cadences is full of articulate drum cadences played on a vintage Pork Pie 8x14 brass/hickory hybrid snare, a vintage Leedy 10x15 parade snare, and a Pork Pie 3x13 Piccolo.  Use these snares to find the basis of inspiration for your drums, turnarounds, and transitions.  Chop these snares and recreate these combinations to find even more ideas hidden within the timing of these cuts.  You get each snare with its respective cadences alone, Cadences for the win.  

Kit features:

• Uniquely authentic live snare cadences featured in 16 bit .wav format
• Stem files of each snare cadence (30 cadences x each snare drum used)
• A "blended" stack of all 3 snares in each cadence for a monstrous mix
• All snare cadences performed at 100 BPM
• Snares used include Pork Pie 8x14 brass/hickory, Leedy 10x15 parade, Pork Pie 3x13 piccolo
• Compatible with all DAWs and samplers that accept .wav format

MSXII Sound Design is proud to present an ever so needed essential pack of go-to drum sounds with Building Blocks.  Truth be told, you really only need a few to mold the best drums in the game and here we give the right start.  These drums knock!  However, they each have different textures that will allow you to mold your own innovative ideas to continue to move your music forward.  The first installment of Building Blocks focuses on kicks, snares, hats, live percussion, and analog fx derived from vintage synthesizers.  64 carefully crafted, unique MSXII quality sounds grace this incredible collection.  We've also include 4 Native Instruments Maschine groups per each instrument for your ease of use.
