ILIO Entertainments Announces New Sample CD-ROMS
January 28, 1999ILIO Entertainments is announcing two new sample CD-ROM products due in March of 1999. The first, Ethno-Techno, features Bashiri Johnson who created the Supreme Beats sample library. Ethno-Techno contains 500 megabytes of techno and other dance style grooves all played by Bashiri and other musicians using exotic and unusual instruments, some of which were created just for this library. This library is also the first product under the ILIO label to be produced by Eric Persing of Spectrasonics, and marks the beginning of a stronger partnership between the two companies. In addition to the live material, Ethno-Techno features remixes of the live grooves by Persing.
ILIO's second new release is Skippy's Big Bad Beats. This is the first groove library from John "Skippy" Lehmkuhl, an LA musician well-known for programming factory sounds for Korg and Kurzweil. Skippy's Big Bad Beats features a large set of "funkified" remixed grooves, spanning the realms of Hip Hop, Trip Hop, Jungle, R&B and more. Lehmkuhl used state-of-the-art gear and techniques to create a decidedly Hi-Fi sound, heavy and impactive, with colorful remixed textures. Both of these new groove titles are Groove Control(TM) activated. Groove Control was developed by ILIO and Spectrasonics as a way to allow the user to control tempo, pattern and feel changes in live, stereo sampled grooves.
Both of these titles will be available in several native sampler formats, including Akai, Roland, Kurzweil and SampleCell, and will include a mixed mode Mac/PC and Audio CD.
Ethno-Techno will contain two full CD-ROMs of grooves plus the mixed mode CD and will retail for $299. Skippy's Big Bad Beats will contain one CD-ROM plus the mixed mode CD and will retail for $199.
